Rename Slice to List

[marekkirejczyk]

Problem

We are implementing a structure which holds a dynamically-sized view into an array (i.e. array, offset and length). Analogous to slice in Rust, with very similar properties. We can't name it slice as there is already a type called slice in Noir.

Happy Case

It seems, slice in Noir is closer to a list than a slice in Rust.
It has cheap operations of adding elements at the beginning, end and in the middle.
The name is therefore a bit misleading.
Hence, we would propose to use name List for it and make a room for Slice.
