**    NAME
**         list_extend_tail -- appends multiple new elements to a list and
**                             (*tail) is made to point to the last element
**                             of the list.
**
**                             Don't use this function if the list does
**                             not have a pointer to its head and if the
**                             list does not have at least one element.
**
**    SYNOPSIS
**         #include <../libft.h>
**
**         int
**         list_extend_tail(t_list **tail, const void **item_vector);
**
**    PARAMETERS
**
**         t_list **tail                Pointer to a pointer to the
**                                      last element of the list (or
**                                      any element of the list).
**
**         const void **item_vector      Vector containing items
**                                       to add to the end of the
**                                       list.
**
**    DESCRIPTION
**         Creates new list elements using the items in the item
**         vector and adds the newly created list elements to the
**         end of the list (that (*tail) points to).
**
**         (*tail) is made to point to the last element of the list.
**
**    RETURN VALUES
**         Returns 0 if successful; otherwise -1.
