Philip Withnall 984576c01e glist: Clarify that g_list_nth() is expensive
Just in case people have forgotten their basic algorithms course. Seen
in some pretty terrible code in the wild; hopefully mentioning the cost
in the documentation will make people think twice about using a counter
variable when iterating over a linked list.

/**
* SECTION:linked_lists_double
* @title: Doubly-Linked Lists
* @short_description: linked lists that can be iterated over in both directions
*
* The #GList structure and its associated functions provide a standard
* doubly-linked list data structure.
*
* Each element in the list contains a piece of data, together with
* pointers which link to the previous and next elements in the list.
* Using these pointers it is possible to move through the list in both
* directions (unlike the singly-linked [GSList][glib-Singly-Linked-Lists],
* which only allows movement through the list in the forward direction).
*
* The double linked list does not keep track of the number of items
* and does not keep track of both the start and end of the list. If
* you want fast access to both the start and the end of the list,
* and/or the number of items in the list, use a
* [GQueue][glib-Double-ended-Queues] instead.
*
* The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by
* using one of the [Type Conversion Macros][glib-Type-Conversion-Macros],
* or simply pointers to any type of data.
*
* List elements are allocated from the [slice allocator][glib-Memory-Slices],
* which is more efficient than allocating elements individually.
*
* Note that most of the #GList functions expect to be passed a pointer
* to the first element in the list. The functions which insert
* elements return the new start of the list, which may have changed.
*
* There is no function to create a #GList. %NULL is considered to be
* a valid, empty list so you simply set a #GList* to %NULL to initialize
* it.
*
* To add elements, use g_list_append(), g_list_prepend(),
* g_list_insert() and g_list_insert_sorted().
*
* To visit all elements in the list, use a loop over the list:
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* GList *l;
* for (l = list; l != NULL; l = l->next)
* {
* // do something with l->data
* }
* ]|
*
* To call a function for each element in the list, use g_list_foreach().
*
* To loop over the list and modify it (e.g. remove a certain element)
* a while loop is more appropriate, for example:
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* GList *l = list;
* while (l != NULL)
* {
* GList *next = l->next;
* if (should_be_removed (l))
* {
* // possibly free l->data
* list = g_list_delete_link (list, l);
* }
* l = next;
* }
* ]|
*
* To remove elements, use g_list_remove().
*
* To navigate in a list, use g_list_first(), g_list_last(),
* g_list_next(), g_list_previous().
*
* To find elements in the list use g_list_nth(), g_list_nth_data(),
* g_list_find() and g_list_find_custom().
*
* To find the index of an element use g_list_position() and
* g_list_index().
*
* To free the entire list, use g_list_free() or g_list_free_full().
