Add note in lists.html about confidentiality notices

- Subject: Add note in lists.html about confidentiality notices
This change updates lists.html to reflect what I believe is already
existing policy, and has been previously discussed at
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-01/msg00872.html> and the following
thread. I put a brown paper bag over the company's name out of a
sense of shame :-(.
I also added a few <p> tags which the validator I was using
complained about.

<p>For example, the following procmail rule will sort all mail from
our lists into a single folder named INLIST.gcc:</p>
! <blockquote><code>
:0<br />
* ^Sender: .*-owner@gcc.gnu.org<br />
INLIST.gcc<br />
! </code></blockquote>
<p>To filter duplicate messages due to cross-posts to multiple lists, you
can use the following recipe (Use at your own risk!):</p>
! <blockquote><code>
:0 Wh: msgid.lock<br />
* ^Sender: .*-owner@gcc.gnu.org<br />
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
! </code></blockquote>
