Stop using the word "indices" #2320

Description

Generic Issue

In xclim we use "indicator" for the complete object and "indice" for the compute function. This distinction is unique to xclim and is a source of confusion for many.

Suggestion is to remove "indice" and "indices" from the vocabulary. Current "indice functions" could be renamed to "compute functions", meaning a module name change from xclim.indices to xclim.compute.

"generics" (xclim.indices.generic) could be framed as "index-like" (as in they manage units and have a somewhat strict signature).
