Description
In a discussion with @penelopeysm, I suggested making LogDensityFunction more user-facing and using the name NamedLogDensity for better clarity.
In the longer term, we could move NamedLogDensity to AbstractMCMC, replacing LogDensityModel.

Research direction
Locate all references to LogDensityFunction, NamedLogDensity, VarNamedLogDensity, and LogDensityModel, including their relationship to AbstractMCMC. First clarify which target name and whether the longer-term move is in scope; done means the agreed naming is applied consistently without stale references.
