introduce container_of macro
This macro is popular within the Linux kernel for supporting intrusive data structures such as linked lists, red-black trees, and chained hash tables while allowing the compiler to do type checking. Later patches will use container_of() to remove the limitation of "hashmap_entry" being location-dependent. This will complete the transition to compile-time type checking for the hashmap API. This macro already exists in our source as "list_entry" in list.h and making "list_entry" an alias to "container_of" as the Linux kernel has done is a possibility.
