Description

... into a new ast_helpers.py module.

We have a lot of small ast analysis functions in visitor.py, for example all the functions starting with _is_ like _is_name() or _is_Incomplete. I suggest we move them into a separate module to make the visitor.py module a bit clearer.

A continuation of #519.
