We could perhaps do with renaming one of the list concepts we have here.

Normal lists are "look to see if this item is somewhere in thislist";
eg, domainlist, local part lists, etc. Evaluation can be
short-circuited, items can be lsearch, etc.

By contrast, dkim_verify_signers returns a list to be iterated over,
because an ACL is invoked for _all_ the entries, so the "use a filename
as a search source" logic isn't applicable.

These two concepts are confusingly similar; given "list" appears in the
names of the configuration directives for the former, perhaps the second
should be switched to use different terminology.

Generators? Something else?
