The purpose of CList is to provide a goroutine-safe linked-list.
This list can be traversed concurrently by any number of goroutines.
However, removed CElements cannot be added back.
NOTE: Not all methods of container/list are (yet) implemented.
NOTE: Removed elements need to DetachPrev or DetachNext consistently
to ensure garbage collection of removed elements.

CElement is an element of a linked-list
Traversal from a CElement is goroutine-safe.

We can't avoid using WaitGroups or for-loops given the documentation
spec without re-implementing the primitives that already exist in
golang/sync. Notice that WaitGroup allows many go-routines to be
simultaneously released, which is what we want. Mutex doesn't do
this. RWMutex does this, but it's clumsy to use in the way that a
WaitGroup would be used -- and we'd end up having two RWMutex's for
prev/next each, which is doubly confusing.

sync.Cond would be sort-of useful, but we don't need a write-lock in
the for-loop. Use sync.Cond when you need serial access to the
"condition". In our case our condition is if `next != nil || removed`,
and there's no reason to serialize that condition for goroutines
waiting on NextWait() (since it's just a read operation).
