The current "ADD" vs "ADDQ" is confusing because when thinking in terms
of appending at the end of a list, "ADD" naturally comes to mind, but
here it does the opposite, it inserts. Several times already it's been
incorrectly used where ADDQ was expected, the latest of which was a
fortunate accident explained in 6fa922562 ("CLEANUP: stream: explain
why we queue the stream at the head of the server list").
Let's use more explicit (but slightly longer) names now:
LIST_ADD -> LIST_INSERT
LIST_ADDQ -> LIST_APPEND
LIST_ADDED -> LIST_INLIST
LIST_DEL -> LIST_DELETE
The same is true for MT_LISTs, including their "TRY" variant.
LIST_DEL_INIT keeps its short name to encourage to use it instead of the
lazier LIST_DELETE which is often less safe.
The change is large (~674 non-comment entries) but is mechanical enough
to remain safe. No permutation was performed, so any out-of-tree code
can easily map older names to new ones.
The list doc was updated.
This file was recovered from the first project where it was born 12 years
ago, but it's still convenient to understand how our circular lists work,
so let's add it.
