This PR adds im::Vector support for the List widget when the im feature is enabled. It seems to work real nicely with ListIter<T> where we can just pass references. The shared data ListIter<(T1, T)> implementation is less nice as we still need to clone data due to the signature. It may be worth looking into changing the signature for shared data lists in the future so that we could use just references even with shared data.

The Vector usage seems much more ergonomical than Arc<Vec>. I also updated the list example to use Vector. The real functional diff to the example looks great, with basically just removing code. However due to having to add feature guards the code diff looks a lot noisier.

I also removed an unnecessary variable from the Arc<Vec> implementation, which was the remnant of a previous refactoring.

This PR also reverts the Data implementation of Vec<T: Data> as discussed in #911. The implementation was broken as well.

Yes, the cloning is not great but should be ok if all Data types are actually cheap to clone (looking at you String). I got a nit pick regarding the generic naming, but otherwise it looks great.
Thanks for implementing this!

Maybe call them Shared and T instead? Or at least S and T.
I still do not understand why people like useless names for generic parameters,
this is really not something where we should let mathematicians inspire us. 😉

I just copied that from the Arc<Vec> implementation, but yeah it took me a while to grasp what the T1 even is, because I hadn't used List before. I changed it to S and added a comment.

Thanks! At first I got it the wrong way, thought T1 would be the iterable due to the 1.

Something to reiterate: the current List widget is a proof of concept, and may need to be reconsidered or otherwise rearchitected.
