Introduces drop_vars, and deprecates using drop for variables. drop is widely used for the deprecated case, so this is a fairly wide blast radius.

It's more churn than is ideal, but I do think it's a much better API.

This is ready for review, though I'm sure I'm missed references in the docs etc (took my peak regex skills to find/replace only the deprecated usages!)

Originally discussed here

  • [x] Tests added
  • [x] Passes black . && mypy . && flake8
  • [x] Fully documented, including whats-new.rst for all changes and api.rst for new API
