Use List<const Whatever> for encodable lists. (#11006)

We should not be requiring creation of non-const data to encode a list
if it can be backed by const data instead.

Another option would be to make List<T> inherit from Span<const T>,
but that makes some assumptions about whether people will want to
write to a buffer via its List representation.

The change to the List::operator= is because importing _all_ operator=
from the super-class, including the implicitly-defined ones, causes
assignments from List<T> to List<const T> to be ambiguous.  Forwarding
just the one operator= we want to forward fixes that.
