Summary: Fix archiving

Initial Comment:
This patch restores MIME charset capabilities for
article archiving in CVS mailman.

It:
- removes the .charset attribute from articles; all
articles are encoded in the list's charset,

- decodes subject and author to Unicode; if this fails,
no decoding (not even MIME) is done to subject and author,

- MIME-decodes the body in the constructor using
get_payload, removes the hand-crafted qp decoding from
_get_body,

- Unicode-decodes the body in the constructor if the
body's charset differs from the list's charset,

- fixes processbody_URLquote to always return byte
strings (by escaping the URL also); comparing the old
and the new string is no longer possible since the old
string is Unicode and the new string is a list-encoded
byte string.

- changes text archiving to have the archives in the
list's encoding, with unsupported characters 'replace'd

- Fixes a bug in the scrubber, where a
content-transfer-encoding might have survived
flattening of the message.

With these changes, I can process the playground
archives correctly, to get mojibake-free pages.
