Merge pull request #1277 from pguyot/w38/add-elixir-list-chars-protocol

Add Elixir List.Chars protocol.

https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/v1.17.2/lib/elixir/lib/list/chars.ex

Split into several source files because of how our CMakeLists.txt is built

These changes are made under both the "Apache 2.0" and the "GNU Lesser General
Public License 2.1 or later" license terms (dual license).
