string_list_find_insert_index() and string_list_insert_at_index()
enables you to see if an item is in the string_list, and to
insert at the appropriate index in the list, if not there. This
is usefull if you need to manipulate an existing item, if
present, and insert a new item if not.

Future mailmap code will use this construct to enable complex
(old_name, old_email) -> (new_name, new_email) lookups.

The string_list_clear_func() allows to call a custom cleanup
function on each item in a string_list, which is useful is the
util member points to a complex structure.

What's with these overlong lines?  You do not have them in your
other patches.

Sorry, that was my editor which wrapped them visibly at column 70, and 
I forgot to insert manual line-breaks before saving.
I'll correct it for the next version.
