Refactor: Introduce `cmArgumentList` container class

The `cmArgumentList` has been turned into a class (forward declared in
the header). It inherits from the `std::list` (yeah, but we don't intend
to store polymorphic classes in it). In addition to the standard methods,
now it's possible to move `HandlePredicate` (renamed to `ReduceOneArg`)
and `HandleBinaryOp` (renamed to `ReduceTwoArgs`) as its members.

Additionally, iterators managements (`IncrementArguments`) have been
refactored into two separate classes mimicking iterators. This also
allows having a uniform `for` loop and concentrates the logic of
iterators advancing in it instead of the loop's body. The arguments
processing algorithms operate with "windows" over a collection of
arguments. Hence there are two kinds of "iteration windows" -- allowing
to observe 2 or 3 elements per loop iteration. These iteration "windows"
also passed to reducers.
