    Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend. · d0b4399d

    In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was
    merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that
    design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch
    fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list
    length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer.
    A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data
    about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer
    to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes.
    
    The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope,
    be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are
    still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of
    the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
