#9785: Turn the unordered_list template filter into a block tag.

There's a problem with this tag as a filter in that one has no control
over how each element in the nested list is rendered, except by changing
it's {{{__unicode__}}} method, which isn't overly practical. For example,
say we were trying to output a list of e-mail threads:
{{{
{% unordered_list email_list as email %}
<div class="email">
{{ email.subject }}, {{ email.sent_date }}<br/>
{{ email.sender }}, {{ email.size }}
</div>
{% endunordered_list %}
}}}
In effect, the content of the block replaces the call to
{{{__unicode__}}}.
I imagine the name might need to be changed to avoid confusion.
Once there's consensus on whether it'd a good idea and the semantics I'm
happy to be the one to write the patch. (My current workaround works so I
haven't tried to do things properly yet, particularly as things may
change.)
