Names of the row level and column level grouping class. #19

Similar to the sfc and sfg classes in sf, our grouping class ('burst') has two main classes:

Given we retain this structure what should the classes be named that is both short and understandable to their purposes. It has been suggested to use a similar naming structure as the sf geometry column and use something akin to 'burstc' and 'burstg' for each level.

This is somewhat dependent on if we change from calling it a burst to a group, but the idea remains the same.

See my comments on #18 about specific names. In addition, I would argue for "grouping" (column) and "grouping_row" or "single_grouping" as they seem mostly unambiguous. I would avoid "ind" vs. "multi" as they are instead ambigous: "ind" could refere to the actual individual that is tracked, and "multi" seems to imply several grouping levels, which is not necessarily the case, nor its intended meaning.
