Allow configuration of visibility_and_def_on_same_line? method

[maksar]

Ruby 2.1 syntax allows method modifiers to be placed right before method declarations, like:

private def current_profile
  current_user.profile
end

Currently, only [:public, :protected, :private, :module_function]method modifiers supported.
It would be nice to have this list configured by .rubocop.yml file. In particular, Rails features like helper_method or before_action, etc.:

helper_method def current_profile
  current_user.profile
end

All mentioned happens in lib/rubocop/cop/mixin/on_method.rb file. Please, suggest similar place in codebase, where such configuration is already implement, so I can take a look and create a pull request for this ticket.

I am having this issue using Memoist gem one of the use cases is

memoize def method_name
  method_body
end

Just came across this myself. What about not caring what comes before the def?

Patches welcome. :-)

@bbatsov Would you say it's OK not to check what comes before def or would you prefer the list of allowed words to be configurable?
