Changes to speed up mass subscription via the web:

MailList.py:
  Changed MailList.SetUserOption() to take a `save_list' keyword
  argument (defaulting to true).  When false, SetUserOption won't do
  self.Save() after changing the option.
  New function MailList.ApprovedAddMembers() (note plural) that takes
  a list of prospective new list members (and possibly a list of
  corresponding passwords), and does _all_ the necessary list changes
  before saving the list configuration.  Empty passwords are
  substituted with randomly generated ones.  Returns a dict with
  {address: exception_tuple} entries -- exception_tuple is either None
  or a two-element tuple containing the first exception type and value
  raised when trying to add address.  The exception traceback object
  isn't included in the returned dict, because a) I don't think it is
  very useful for the relevant exceptions, and b) using it wrongly
  could cause some fuzz with Python's garbage collector -- i.e. we
  would leak memory.
  Changed MailList.ApprovedAddMember() to be a mere wrapper, calling
  the new ApprovedAddMembers() function and reraising any exception in
  the returned dict.
  Also made the logic of the code doing subject prefixing a bit
  clearer, and changed MailList.aside_new() so that list's config.db
  files are saved with umask 007 (as they contain all list members'
  passwords in clear text).
Utils.py:
  New function MakeRandomPassword(length=4), used by
  MailList.ApprovedAddMembers() whenever empty passwords are found.
  The default random password length should possibly be made site
  configurable.
  Also, fixed an error in the _badchars regular expression -- the
  final "," was probably meant to be inside the character set.
Cgi/admin.py:
  Changed ChangeOptions() to use the new MailList.ApprovedAddMembers()
  function.
