When constructing circuits with Circuit.from_moments we often want to conditionally include a moment and we often end up with awkward expressions like:

Circuit.from_moments(prepare_ops, *([flip_ops] if flip else []), measure_ops)

This PR would allow us to pass None as an arg to from_moments in which case that arg would be skipped and not included in the circuit (not even as an empty moment). The above code can then be written more clearly as:

Circuit.from_moments(prepare_ops, flip_ops if flip else None, measure_ops)

Should this be elif m to encapsulate the empty [] case as well? Since None is expected to replace the [] case, I'd expect them to yield the same output. WDYT?

I didn't intend for None to replace []. The former would be skipped, while the latter would produce an empty moment in the circuit.

Thanks for clarifying!
