bug#33309: Add flatten-list?

[Alex Branham]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Here's a patch that implements
`flatten-tree' which always returns a list and recurses into conses. It
also replaces all the existing *-flatten-list functions with obsolete
aliases and replaces usages of them with `flatten-list'.

I added a few very simple tests for this too. CONTRIBUTE doesn't say
whether I should include that change in the git commit message. I left
it out but it's easy to add, just let me know if I should.

I aliased `flatten-tree' to `flatten-list' because I think (given the
names of the existing implementations) this is the name people expect,
even if it's not technically right.

I wasn't able to run the tests because some gpg encryption stuff failed.

Thanks,
Alex
