Willy Tarreau 78777ead32 MEDIUM: pattern: change the pat_del_* functions to delete from the references
This is the next step in speeding up entry removal. Now we don't scan
the whole lists or trees for elements pointing to the target reference,
instead we start from the reference and delete all linked patterns.

This simplifies some delete functions since we don't need anymore to
delete multiple times from an expression since all nodes appear after
the reference element. We can now have one generic list and one generic
tree deletion function.

This required the replacement of pattern_delete() with an open-coded
version since we now need to lock all expressions first before proceeding.
This means there is a high risk of lock inversion here but given that the
expressions are always scanned in the same order from the same head, this
must not happen.

Now deleting first entries is instantaneous, and it's still slow to
delete the last ones when looking up their ID since it still requires
to look them up by a full scan, but it's already way faster than
previously. Typically removing the last 10 IP from a 20M entries ACL
with a full-scan each took less than 2 seconds.

It would be technically possible to make use of indexed entries to
speed up most lookups for removal by value (e.g. IP addresses) but
that's for later.
