base: Add const qualifiers to 'util/list.h'

This patch adds support for iterating through a const list. This allows
users of lists to be more rigid with regard to constness. Furthermore,
the patch adds the function 'List::insert_at' for inserting an element
at a specified position. By adding this function, we can remove code
duplication in nitpicker.
