GN: Don't crash when mutating the list in a foreach.

Avoid a crash caused by mutation of the list being iterated over from inside
the foreach loop. This does a full copy of the the iterated list since the
code inside can't mutate the array via the loop variable anyway. Although
theoretically slower, this doesn't seem to have a measurable performance
regression in practice (we generally iterate over few large lists).

Adds documentation and tests for iteration while mutating the underlying list
variable.
