Improve copy initializers for list

  • Make List’s checkType return param since it just calls compilerError
    calls there is no need for it to exist at runtime.
  • Adjust list init= to be more flexible to handle issue #16706
  • Add list init/init= from iterator expr for issue #16166

Reviewed by @dlongnecke-cray - thanks!

  • [x] full local testing
