refactor: rename ak.nplike → ak.nplikes & nplikes.of →nplikes.nplike_of

[agoose77]

Changes

1. Rename ak.nplike to ak.nplikes
2. Rename ak.nplikes.of to ak.nplikes.nplike_of

Motivation

In type-hinting situations, it would give us more flexability to be able to import ak.nplikes as nplikes. Currently, the nplike module name would clash with local-scoped nplike variables. This is easy to work around - just use from awkward import nplike as nplikes, however we'll be doing that a lot, so let's just clean this up now.

Furthermore, should we wish to import nplike.of as a free-standing function, the same applies. nplike_for is a more descriptive name than nplike.of, even though the latter is pretty snazzy.

Closes #1741

Great! (Although now it occurred to me that we have behavior_of and maybe a few other of's, while this is nplike_for, but...

Ah, heck. I'll just change it to nplike_of.)

I'll let you counter-approve by not setting this to merge, but merge it if you agree about nplike_for → nplike_of.
