Thread: use new List API names

This patch updates the remaining parts of the source tree to use the
new List API function names and disables the list compatibility API
by default. This patch compiles without warnings and passes the
regression tests.

This patch does not remove the usage of FastList; that should also
be done.

Barring any objections, I intend to apply this patch on Sunday
evening (PDT).

I thought llast() and length() were going away too?

I can deal with that later ...

For llast(), I decided to keep it around: it is nicely symmetric
with linitial(), and it makes any code that actually needs the last
value in a list significantly more readable. Since it's a macro
there's no runtime cost.

I had thought about keeping length() around, but on second thought I
don't see why we ought to. I'll replace it with list_length() and
post an updated patch.

Okay, that works for me.
