[Bug 1414864] [NEW] If a list name contains regexp special characters, bin/rmlist can fail in various ways

[Mark Sapiro]

Public bug reported:

bin/rmlist creates a regexp to match held message files with names of
the form heldmsg-LISTNAME-* to remove them from Mailman's data/
directory. If the list name contains a '+', the created regexp won't
match, and if it contains '++' the regexp is invalid and rmlist throws
sre_constants.error.
