Rename nextind, prevind and thisind to unabbreviated names #31643

Open

Description

@jakobnissen

The names of nextind, prevind and thisind are not in line with the rest of Julia's naming conventions.

From the style guide:

conciseness is valued, but avoid abbreviation (indexin rather than indxin) as it becomes difficult to remember whether and how particular words are abbreviated.

Also, the other index operations like firstindex, lastindex, eachindex, getindex, setindex! and checkindex do not use the abbreviated form of "index".
