InitVars(): New config variable news_moderation, which is a 3-way flag

controlling how the mail->news gateway should handle moderation.  This
supplants MM2.0's SF patch #401270 in a much simpler way.  Possible
values are:

- 0 means we're not gating to a moderated newsgroup
- 1 means "open list, moderated group", essentially we just add an
  Approved header to the gated message, but do nothing else special
- 2 means "moderated" which adds an additional hold criteria to the
  message.  Once the message is approved, it gets an Approved header
  and is gated.

Note: this was a top request by the FSF, and essential for
python.org.  I had a brainstorm about how to make this fairly simple
to add so we're thawing the release for this one.
