Bug#970278: smartlist: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
smartlist could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the choplist binary contains the current user via the
LISTID define. Given that has been the build user's username for many
years (?), I suspect it makes no difference what value this actually
has, but patch attached that sets it to "list" (ie. to match the name
of uid 38).
