Manual touching

Sometimes you intentionally don't process elements or entire sections in the document. You can manually touch them so they and all elements below are marked as touched and don't get reported by enolib when you run your final checks at the end of the program.

const document = enolib.parse('field: value')

document.field('field').touch();

document.assertAllTouched();

No error is thrown this time.
