The list modules need a bit of post-BBP shaking

We currently have an unfortunately named Data.List.OldList, and no terribly clear story to explain it. One concept, due in part to me and in part to Carter:

  1. Move all the basics needed to implement instance Foldable [] from Data.OldList to Data.List.Base (or some similar name).
  2. Move all the "extras" like inits, tails, and sort from Data.OldList into Data.List.
  3. Delete Data.OldList.
