lib: implement utility function API which does the following

1. listnode_add_sort_nodup - This API adds to list only if no duplicate
    element available in the list. returns true/false
2. list_filter_out_nodes - This API deletes the nodes which satisfy the given
    condition. condition is passed as a func ptr in
    API. This function takes in node data(void ptr).
