Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml. Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.

FreeBSD documentation project mailing list <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG>
Be consistent in using the FreeBSD.ORG address. All references
to freebsd.org were changed to FreeBSD.ORG.
Use pre-defined addresses for some individuals where available.
