Subject: qrunner, mailmanctl and various other repairs.

The convenience methods in Defaults for getting seconds, minutes, hours, and
days now returns a subtype of timedelta, which provides conversion to float
and int for compatibility with interfaces that require those values
(e.g. signal.alarm() and time.sleep().

In bin/make_instance, the var_dir really needs to be an absolute path,
otherwise it's possible to get a var dir nested inside the var dir.

More MailList object eradication.
