"Flush the cache" for mailman lists #1255

Ability to regenerate a program or class list from the appropriate membership in case they get out of sync.

Related: #185.

For class lists you can delete the list and it will be regenerated the next time, I believe. This doesn't work for program lists though.

Incidentally:

I don't believe program mailing lists have been working. Certainly they've been strangely underpopulated for, like, the last three programs I remember.

See #1105, #1116, and #1038 for the current status of the lottery updating mailman lists. We know what the issue is, or at least we know how to make things fail less silently; it is fixed in the lottery script, and still needs to be fixed in the pull request for the frontend.
