Changed make_list to take its arguments by forwarding reference (#1528)
make_list was the only make_xxx container factory taking its argument
pack by value rather than by forwarding reference, costing an extra
move per lvalue argument: each lvalue was copy-constructed into the
parameter and then moved into the initializer_list backing array,
where the forwarding-reference signature copies it there directly.
Rvalue prvalue arguments count the same either way in practice, as
copy elision constructs them directly into the by-value parameter.

Change the pack to T&&..., matching make_vector, make_forward_list and
make_indirect_vector. The deduced reference types decay through
common_type, so the element type deduction is unchanged.

Adds tests for const/non-const lvalues of the element type (guarding
against the forward<T> defect fixed for make_array and make_deque),
mixed-type common_type deduction, and an instrumented type counting
copy/move constructions, which fails with the by-value signature (one
extra move per lvalue argument) and passes with the fix.

Also corrects the make_list documentation, which described a
make_array-style signature with an explicit element type parameter
that never matched the implementation.

Verified with clang 22 (C++17): all 93 list tests pass; C++14/20
syntax checks pass.

Note: mixed-type lvalue arguments are affected by a separate
pre-existing defect in etl::common_type (its two-type specialization
recurses with decay<T2> twice instead of decay<T1>, decay<T2>), which
already affects the other common_type-based factories and is being
fixed separately.
