Use iblocklist.com lists

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Most users seem to like using the lists from iblocklist.com - we should
switch over to them instead of using the PhoenixLabs ones.  They appear to
be more reliably hosted, too.

Might be worth updating the UI to include a "PG2 Name" field or something,
to help users migrate from PG lists to iBlocklist lists.

Many users have sent in emails asking for this.

Replace SourceForge lists with I-BlockList ones. Also removed gov list since 
that has 
been deprecated for quite a while.

What is the "PG2 Name" field?

Thanks for the patch!

Don't forget to update the startupwizard.cpp stuff, and PG2.rc (and resource.h) 
to
remove the GOV stuff (and change names/descriptions as appropriate).

The "PG2 Name" field idea was to add something to the list-selection UI to
essentially let people know that the iBlocklist.org "Bluetack Level1" list is 
really
the same thing as the old PG "P2P" list.  I've seen quite a few people on the PG
Forums asking what to use instead of the PG P2P list, figure this would help 
them
figure it out.  Ideally, this would involve redoing the UI for the List 
Manager's
"Add List" screen, giving people a multi-column layout with e.g. a name, "PG2 
Name"
(maybe), description, and url.  And either a checkbox next to them or else make 
them
highlightable, so that they can easily multi-select one/some/all of them.  And 
of
course a place to add their own list, either from file or via url.

If you decide to rework the UI too, let's start out with a screenshot of a 
mockup
that we can discuss, rather than making all sorts of changes that it turns out 
we're
not all that happy with.

Patch should remove all references to the gov list in the add list dialog and 
start up wizard. Apply in the trunk/pg2 
directory.

From the description of the "PG2 Name" field, it sounds similar to the PG3 list 
selection although it isn't hooked up to 
the backend.
