* Mailing lists get multiple chains and pipelines. For example, normal
postings go through the `posting_chain` while messages to owners to through `owners_chain`. The default `built-in` chain is renamed to `default-posting-chain` while the `built-in` pipeline is renamed `default-posting-pipeline`. * Schema changes: - start_chain -> posting_chain - pipeline -> posting_pipeline
