Fixed #21213 -- Added docs for Django's mailing lists.
Added docs/internals/mailing-lists.txt documenting the use of django's mailing lists. All references across docs changed to point to this page. The referencing makes use of substitution because there's no way to make a :ref: link in a non-inline fashion in Sphinx. It also makes use of rst_epilog Sphinx conf for making this substitutions across all the docs.
