A start on the 'mailman' subcommand layout, with the help of argparse. Right

now the only subcommand is 'lists' which displays all mailing lists like the
old bin/list_lists command did (which is now removed).

Remove bin/version since 'bin/mailman --version' does this for us.

Simplify the calculation of the bin scripts; there will be many fewer of them.

Extend i18n to use a class based structure.  By default, all i18n strings are
dedented after translation and substitution, which improves command line
help.  The class structure allows for overriding this behavior.
