Slicing a vector Variable should produce a scalar Variable

[guyer]

The SliceVariable should work in both directions. Assignment should modify the original vector Variable.

I would say that this is no longer needed. We should deemphasize the use of slicing
with Variables and use dot() or just multiply by a tuple.
Slicing is not "maths" and we should keep Variable operations as maths.

While dot() is great, I think there are are reasons to want to do this (it's much more efficient, for one thing).

This largely works, as of r2274, although it is not yet possible to solve() a component of a higher-rank CellVariable.

No idea when or on which branch this was done.
