I think most of the proposed renames are good. One thing that would be good
to change is to remove `SnapshotProvider` and just have that method directly on
`OperatorStateBackend`.
I really like the separation between the user facing state store and the
backend. I've been meaning to change that for keyed state as well, i.e. the
user only gets a way to access state and not all the methods for snapshotting,
closing, etc. from the backend.
When I say I like the changes, I mean everything except that they have
`Operator` in all of them. In the end, all state is at an operator, plus there
is the existing interface `OperatorState` that is an alias for `ValueState`. I
don't have a good alternative now, but I think the `Operator` could be
confusing.
