Summary: pass emailhost to mlist.Create

Initial Comment:
As bin/newlist has emailhost option, then make
mlist.Create call with lang and host_name parameters to
take care of it.

Here's why I think the emailhost portion is still relevant, though not
very important. MailList.Create does:

        postingaddr = '%s@%s' % (name, emailhost)
        try:
            Utils.ValidateEmail(postingaddr)
        except Errors.MMBadEmailError:
            raise Errors.BadListNameError, postingaddr

Setting the emailhost after calling .Create() side-steps this check,
and it doesn't look like bin/newlist does anything like this check, nor
does it call MailList.CheckValues().  Perhaps the above check should be put
into .CheckValues(), and newlist changed to do mlist.CheckValues().

Nothing in this patch is currently relevant. The 'lang' part of it was
fixed in Mailman 2.1.10, and host_name and web_page_url have been set
appropriately by newlist since 2.1.6 although they are not passed to
mlist.Create but set after.

This patch is slightly out-of-date -- mlist.Create now takes a langs
parameter instead of 
just 'lang' -- but adding the host_name is still relevant.  mlist.Create
checks the validity of postingaddr based upon the emailhost, so setting it
after-the-fact is sidestepping that check.

I'll try to apply and test this patch, but won't do it not in time for
2.1.11.
