Jeremy Stanley bf81097a85 Skip notification prompt for newlist command
Mailman's newlist command helpfully prompts on the TTY waiting for
the user to press enter so that a message will be sent to the list
admin containing the initial configuration password or ctrl-C to
abort notifying. Unfortunately, Ansible's command tasks look enough
like an interactive TTY to confuse newlist into thinking it should
do the same when orchestrated. Pass an empty stdin as part of the
task to work around this.

We didn't encounter the issue in our test jobs, because we avoid
sending notifications by passing newlist a --quiet option which
skips that step, and thus the problematic prompting behavior we
observed in production deployment.
