Incompatible type change in MailingListApplication XML-RPC getMembershipInformation and reportStatus APIs

[William Grant]

Commit 2290a30a ported MailingList and co. to Storm, and in the process added the standard future imports to a number of modules, including test_mailinglistapi. Probably as a consequence of the test strings changing type, the getMembershipInformation and reportStatus XML-RPC methods were changed to take team names as text strings rather than byte strings, but the corresponding callsites in lp:lp-mailman were not updated.

This causes mailing list updates to OOPS like OOPS-0000192d75399b1e7f52813e1ff8647c: AssertionError: team_name must be a text string, not <type 'str'>

Only getMembershipInformation and reportStatus are OOPSing frequently, but I don't know for sure that those are all that are affected.
