ALLOWS_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES. Set it to Yes in mm_cfg.py.

>From my empirical testing, the site admin password must be different than
the list admin password (as a sole administrator for my system, I had them
the same). If they're the same, it appears Mailman determines it to be the
list password and never gets to the site password test and there never sets
the site admin cookie.
