Define the ListLinks struct, which wraps the prev/next pointers that will be used to insert values into a List in a future patch. Also define the ListItem trait, which is implemented by structs that have a ListLinks field. The ListItem trait provides four different methods that are all essentially container_of or the reverse of container_of. Two of them are used before inserting/after removing an item from the list, and the two others are used when looking at a value without changing whether it is in a list. This distinction is introduced because it is needed for the patch that adds support for heterogeneous lists, which are implemented by adding a third pointer field with a fat pointer to the full struct. When inserting into the heterogeneous list, the pointer-to-self is updated to have the right vtable, and the container_of operation is implemented by just returning that pointer instead of using the real container_of operation.
