Add an iplist::clearAndLeakNodesUnsafely() function.

The iplist::clear() function can be quite expensive because it traverses
the entire list, calling deleteNode() and removeNodeFromList() on each
element. If node destruction and deallocation can be handled some other
way, clearAndLeakNodesUnsafely() can be used to jettison all nodes
without bringing them into cache.

The function name is meant to be ominous.
