AbstractPPL 0.14 - new VarName optics & modifications to VNT (#1203)

I also split up `varnamedtuple.jl` because it's just massive.

Also reorganised a bunch of code and deduplicated method names. Anything
that takes an optic is called `_foo_optic` (where `foo` is one of
`getindex`, `setindex` and `haskey`). That frees us up to use the
original `Base.getindex`, `BangBang.setindex!!`, and `Base.haskey` for
methods that take a plain old list of indices.'

Note that this breaks a few tests. For example, colon indices are
broken, because colons are always unconcretised now. Unfortunately,
there's no way of fixing this _properly_ without #1194. However, we
_could_ replicate the old concretisation mechanism of colons in
DynamicPPL, which would make them continue to work (at least for now).

This PR disables colon tests for the time being.
