Save a gen_tibble

Save the tibble (and update the backing files). The gen_tibble object is saved to a file with extension .gt, togethe with update its .rds and .bk files. Note that multiple .gt files can be linked to the same .rds and .bk files; generally, this occurs when we create multiple subsets of the data. The .gt file then stores the information on what subset of the full dataset we are interested in, whilst the .rds and .bk file store the full dataset. To reload a gen_tibble, you can pass the name of the .gt file with gt_load().
