Summary: spam filters get removed when changing other privacy pages

Initial Comment:
Error report on behalf of Russell King
(rmk+bugzilla at arm.linux.org.uk):

Description of problem:
If you enter some header_filter_rules in the mailman
admin pages (Privacy->Spam filters) and click "submit"
they are added to the list configuration database.

However, if you now go to one of the other Privacy
pages and click "submit" and return to the Spam Filters
page, you'll find that your header_filter_rules
settings have been removed.

This appears to be caused by the handleForm function in
~mailman/Mailman/Gui/Privacy.py not checking to see
which subsection is being submitted before processing
the data for and setting the mlist.header_filter_rules
list configuration variable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if
applicable): mailman-2.1.5-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create list.
2. Go to the Privacy->Spam filters page, add some
header_filter_rules and hit submit.
3. Go to the Privacy->Sender filters page but don't hit
submit
4. Go back to Spam filters and note that they're still
present
5. Return to Sender filters and hit submit
6. Go back to Spam filters and note that they've been 
removed.
    

Actual Results:  All spam filters are removed.

Expected Results:  Spam filter settings should be retained.
