Provide an efficient implementation of ‘elem’

The one in Nixpkgs is O(n^2), this one is O(n).  Big reduction in the
number of list allocations.

Statistics before (on a NixOS system config):

  time elapsed: 1.17982
  size of a value: 24
  environments allocated: 1543334 (39624560 bytes)
  list elements: 9612638 (76901104 bytes)
  list concatenations: 37434
  values allocated: 1854933 (44518392 bytes)
  attribute sets allocated: 392040
  right-biased unions: 186334
  values copied in right-biased unions: 591137
  symbols in symbol table: 18272
  number of thunks: 1392467
  number of thunks avoided: 1507311
  number of attr lookups: 430801
  number of primop calls: 691600
  number of function calls: 1492502
