Problem
Unlisting several forms at once is a common database operation which can take prohibitively long if there are many (e.g. hundreds) of forms to unlist at once.
Solution
Add a function to our MongoDB scripts which unlists an array of form IDs. Since the forms to unlist are often given as form links and not object IDs, include a parsing step so any string can be passed into the function as an array element, as long as it contains the form ID.
