Description
As discussed in #947, we should remove the IndexVariable.name attribute. It should be fine to use an IndexVariable anywhere, regardless of whether or not it labels ticks along a dimension.

Research direction
Start by reading the discussion in #947, then locate the IndexVariable definition and its references throughout the repository. Determine which uses depend on the name attribute and review the relevant tests. Done means IndexVariable no longer exposes name and existing uses work regardless of tick-labeling.
