In some scenarios, 'TtlListState#getUnexpiredOrNull -> 
elementSerializer.copy(ttlValue)'  consumes a lot of cpu resources.

I found that for TtlListState#getUnexpiredOrNull, if none of the elements have 
expired, it still needs to copy all the elements and update the whole list/map 
in TtlIncrementalCleanup#runCleanup();

I think we could optimize TtlListState#getUnexpiredOrNull by:
1)find the first expired element index in the list;
2)If not found, return to the original list;
3)If found, then constrct the unexpire list (puts the previous elements into 
the list), and go through the subsequent elements, adding expired elements into 
the list.
{code:java}
public List<TtlValue<T>> getUnexpiredOrNull(@Nonnull List<TtlValue<T>> 
ttlValues) {
    //.......
    int firstExpireIndex = -1;
    for (int i = 0; i < ttlValues.size(); i++) {
        if (TtlUtils.expired(ttlValues.get(i), ttl, currentTimestamp)) {
            firstExpireIndex = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    if (firstExpireIndex == -1) {
        return ttlValues;  //return the original ttlValues
    }
    List<TtlValue<T>> unexpired = new ArrayList<>(ttlValues.size());
    for (int i = 0; i < ttlValues.size(); i++) {
        if (i < firstExpireIndex) {
            unexpired.add(ttlValues.get(i));
        }
        if (i > firstExpireIndex) {
            if (!TtlUtils.expired(ttlValues.get(i), ttl, currentTimestamp)) {
                unexpired.add(ttlValues.get(i));
            }
        }
    }
    //  .....
} {code}
In this way, the extra iteration overhead is actually very very small, but the 
benefit when there are no expired elements is significant.
