Normalise ABS geography names

Description

This function renames and reclassifies the columns of a data.frame to make them easier to work with. It will always reclassify any column with code in the name or with some sort of year identifier (e.g. lga_name_2018) to character. Optionally, it can remove these year identifiers from the column names and/or rename the columns to lower case.
