Creates a <i>mutable</i> {@code LinkedList} instance containing the given elements; a very thin
shortcut for creating an empty list then calling {@link Iterables#addAll}.

<p><b>Note:</b> if mutability is not required and the elements are non-null, use {@link
ImmutableList#copyOf(Iterable)} instead. (Or, change {@code elements} to be a {@link
FluentIterable} and call {@code elements.toList()}.)

<p><b>Performance note:</b> {@link ArrayList} and {@link java.util.ArrayDeque} consistently
outperform {@code LinkedList} except in certain rare and specific situations. Unless you have
spent a lot of time benchmarking your specific needs, use one of those instead.

<p><b>Note for Java 7 and later:</b> if {@code elements} is a {@link Collection}, you don't
need this method. Use the {@code LinkedList} {@linkplain LinkedList#LinkedList(Collection)
constructor} directly, taking advantage of the new <a href="http://goo.gl/iz2Wi">"diamond"
syntax</a>.
