Summary: Fix to fallback of thread by subject

Initial Comment:
The existing code in HyperDatabase.py looks like it
was intending to fallback to threading by subject if 
the In-Reply-To and References headers were missing.

However the implementation it is broken, apparently
an incomplete port of some other module.

This patch fixes the set_location() method, and
getOldestArticle methods to allow subject threading
to once again work.

Note: pipermail.py has an unused database class which
also implements broken versions of these methods. This
patch does not fix those because they were unused.

This patch looks like it still applies, but just looking at
this code makes my hea d go *splat*. Can you confirm that
this is still an issue for Mailman 2.1, and this is still
the correct fix ?
