False positive ``too-few-public-methods`` on property function calls and descriptors

[RomanValov]

Bug description

Classes Decorators, Functions, Functions2 are functionally equivalent and Descriptors is closely similar. Nevertheless pylint doesn't complain with R0903 (too-few-public-methods) issues about Decorators class. But complains about others:

class Decorators:
    @property
    def id(self):
        pass

    @property
    def name(self):
        pass



class Functions:
    id = property(lambda self: None)
    name = property(lambda self: None)


def my_property():
    def getter(_self):
        pass

    return property(getter)


class Functions2:
    id = my_property()
    name = my_property()


class Descriptor:
    def __get__(self, instance, owner=None):
        pass


class Descriptors:
    id = Descriptor()
    name = Descriptor()


All approaches except Decorators provide a way to avoid boiler-plate for properties.
