Add support for handling Uninferable nodes when calling as_string

Some object, for instance List or Tuple can have, after inference,
Uninferable as their elements, happening when their components
weren't couldn't be inferred properly. This means that as_string
needs to cope with expecting Uninferable nodes part of the other
nodes coming for a string transformation. The patch adds a visit
method in AsString and ``accept`` on Yes / Uninferable nodes.
Closes issue #270.
