'notmuch-show-mark-read', that removes the "unread" tag in

notmuch-show-hook, and by notmuch-show-next-message.  All of the

actually views a message, at which point it should be automatically

support for rename and deletion of files from the mail store.

Here's the original justification for the patch:

A review of notmuch-new.c shows three uses of ->d_type:

Near line 153, in _entries_resemble_maildir() we can simply allow for
DT_UNKNOWN. This would fail if people have MH-style folders which have
three folders called "new" "cur" and "tmp", but that seems unlikely, in
which case the "tmp" folder would simply not be scanned.

Near line 273 in add_files_recursive() we have another check. If
DT_UNKNOWN, we fall through, then add_files_recursive() does a stat
almost immediately, returning with success if the path isn't a
directory.

Thus, the fallback is already written.

Finally, near line 343, in add_files_recursive() (a long function) we
have another check. Here we can simply treat DT_UNKNOWN as DT_LNK, since
the logic for the stat() results are the same.

database format change. To support smooth upgrades we now encode a
database format version number in the Xapian metadata.

Going forward notmuch will emit a warning if used to read from a
database with a newer version than it natively supports, and will
refuse to write to a database with a newer version.

The library also provides functions to query the database format
version:

notmuch_database_get_version

to ask if notmuch wants a newer version than that:

notmuch_database_needs_upgrade

and a function to actually perform that upgrade:

notmuch_database_upgrade

all-terms iteration we are using, (and this might differ based on

inode rather than strcmp order.

However, we wouldn't actually ask for the list of files from the

time we traverse the filenames looking for deletions, the database

change introduced a regression in that the recursion would no longer
traverse through a symlink to a directory. (Since stat() would resolve
the symlink but with scandir() we see a distinct DT_LNK value in
d_type).

We fix this for directories by allowing both DT_DIR and DT_LNK values
to recurse, and then downgrading the existing not-a-directory check
within the recursion to not be an error. We also add a new
not-a-directory check outside the recursion that is an error.
