 *		integrated/inline doubly- and singly-linked lists
 *
 * These list types are useful when there are only a predetermined set of
 * lists that an object could be in.  List links are embedded directly into
 * the objects, and thus no extra memory management overhead is required.
 * (Of course, if only a small proportion of existing objects are in a list,
 * the link fields in the remainder would be wasted space.  But usually,
 * it saves space to not have separately-allocated list nodes.)
 *
 * None of the functions here allocate any memory; they just manipulate
 * externally managed memory.  The APIs for singly and doubly linked lists
 * are identical as far as capabilities of both allow.
 *
 * Each list has a list header, which exists even when the list is empty.
 * An empty singly-linked list has a NULL pointer in its header.
 * There are two kinds of empty doubly linked lists: those that have been
 * initialized to NULL, and those that have been initialized to circularity.
 * (If a dlist is modified and then all its elements are deleted, it will be
 * in the circular state.)	We prefer circular dlists because there are some
 * operations that can be done without branches (and thus faster) on lists
 * that use circular representation.  However, it is often convenient to
 * initialize list headers to zeroes rather than setting them up with an
 * explicit initialization function, so we also allow the other case.
 *
 * EXAMPLES
 *
 * Here's a simple example demonstrating how this can be used.  Let's assume
 * we want to store information about the tables contained in a database.
 *
 * #include "lib/ilist.h"
 *
 * // Define struct for the databases including a list header that will be
 * // used to access the nodes in the table list later on.
 * typedef struct my_database
 * {
 *		char	   *datname;
 *		dlist_head	tables;
 *		// ...
 * } my_database;
 *
 * // Define struct for the tables.  Note the list_node element which stores
 * // prev/next list links.  The list_node element need not be first.
 * typedef struct my_table
 * {
 *		char	   *tablename;
 *		dlist_node	list_node;
 *		perm_t		permissions;
 *		// ...
 * } my_table;
 *
 * // create a database
 * my_database *db = create_database();
 *
 * // and add a few tables to its table list
 * dlist_push_head(&db->tables, &create_table(db, "a")->list_node);
 * ...
 * dlist_push_head(&db->tables, &create_table(db, "b")->list_node);
 *
 *
 * To iterate over the table list, we allocate an iterator variable and use
 * a specialized looping construct.  Inside a dlist_foreach, the iterator's
 * 'cur' field can be used to access the current element.  iter.cur points to
 * a 'dlist_node', but most of the time what we want is the actual table
 * information; dlist_container() gives us that, like so:
 *
 * dlist_iter	iter;
 * dlist_foreach(iter, &db->tables)
 * {
 *		my_table   *tbl = dlist_container(my_table, list_node, iter.cur);
 *		printf("we have a table: %s in database %s\n",
 *			   tbl->tablename, db->datname);
 * }
 *
 *
 * While a simple iteration is useful, we sometimes also want to manipulate
 * the list while iterating.  There is a different iterator element and looping
 * construct for that.  Suppose we want to delete tables that meet a certain
 * criterion:
 *
 * dlist_mutable_iter miter;
 * dlist_foreach_modify(miter, &db->tables)
 * {
 *		my_table   *tbl = dlist_container(my_table, list_node, miter.cur);
 *
 *		if (!tbl->to_be_deleted)
 *			continue;		// don't touch this one
 *
 *		// unlink the current table from the linked list
 *		dlist_delete(miter.cur);
 *		// as these lists never manage memory, we can still access the table
 *		// after it's been unlinked
 *		drop_table(db, tbl);
 * }
