Lists are the new rings, so update all remaining references to rings to
talk about lists.

Use /* ... */ rather than /** ... */ if for no other reason than
syntax highlighting is improved (at least for me, in emacs: comments
are now red, code is yellow. Previously comments were also yellow).

Add details describing the vdo zone and thread model to the
documentation comments for major vdo components. Also added
some high-level description of the block map structure.

Rename various interfaces and structs associated with vdo's wait-queue,
e.g.: s/wait_queue/vdo_wait_queue/, s/waiter/vdo_waiter/, etc.
Now all function names start with "vdo_waitq_" or "vdo_waiter_".

The recovery journal is used to amortize updates across the block map and
slab depot. Each write request causes an entry to be made in the journal.
Entries are either "data remappings" or "block map remappings." For a data
remapping, the journal records the logical address affected and its old and
new physical mappings. For a block map remapping, the journal records the
block map page number and the physical block allocated for it (block map
pages are never reclaimed, so the old mapping is always 0). Each journal
entry and the data write it represents must be stable on disk before the
other metadata structures may be updated to reflect the operation.
