[PATCH libinput] util: harmonize container_of() definition with linux kernel one

commit 3925936 introduced changes to container_of, this is hopefully the
last part of it.

In the linux kernel, container_of() takes a type name, and not a
variable. Without this, in some cases it is needed to declare an unused
variable in order to call container_of().

example:

	return container_of(dispatch, struct fallback_dispatch, base);

instead of:

	struct fallback_dispatch *p;
	return container_of(dispatch, p, base);

This introduce also list_first_entry(), a simple wrapper around
container_of() to retrieve the first element of a non empty list. It
allows to simplify list_for_each() and list_for_each_safe().

As they were no documentation for all the list functions/macros I did not add
one for list_first_entry(), if it is necessary, I will add them.
