Shuffle the value numbers around in the database.

uniformly as a timestamp for both mail and timestamp documents, (which
lets us cleanup an ugly and fragile bare 0 in the add_value and
get_value calls in the timestamp code).
Second, I want to drop the thread value entirely, so putting it at the

to be able to sort on it to get diff-able output from "notmuch dump".)

Fix lifetime-maintenance bug with std::string and c_str()
Here's more evidence that C++ is a nightmare to program---or that
I'm smart enough to realize that C++ is more clever than I will
ever be.
Most of my issues with C++ have to do with it hiding things from
me that I'd really like to and expect to be aware of as a C
programmer.
For example, the specific problem here is that there's a
short-lived std::string, from which I just want to copy
the C string. I try to do that on the next line, but before
I can, C++ has already called the destructor on the std::string.
Now, C++ isn't alone in doing garbage collecting like this.
But in a *real* garbage-collecting system, everything would
work that way. For example, here, I'm still holding a pointer
to the C string contents, so if the garbage collector were
aware of that reference, then it might clean up the std::string
container and leave the data I'm still using.
But that's not what we get with C++. Instead, some things are
reference counted and collected, (like the std::string), and
some things just aren't (like the C string it contains). The
end result is that it's very fragile. It forces me to be aware
of the timing of hidden functions. In a "real" system I wouldn't
have to be aware of that timing, and in C the function just
wouldn't be hidden.

notmuch_message_get_message_id: Fix to cache result
Previously, this would allocate new memory with every call. That

less wasteful. It's easy enough to just stash the result into the

notmuch dump: Fix the sorting of results.
To properly support sorting in notmuch_query we know use an
Enquire object. We also throw in a QueryParser too, so we're
really close to being able to support arbitrary full-text

I took a look at the supported QueryParser syntax and chose
a set of flags for everything I like, (such as supporting
Boolean operators in either case ("AND" or "and"), supporting
phrase searching, supporting + and - to include/preclude terms,
and supporting a trailing * on any term as a wildcard).

notmuch dump: Free each message as it's used.
Previously we were leaking[*] memory in that the memory footprint of

complete, and then finally all the memory would be freed.

O(n) in the number of messages.

Add destroy functions for results, message, and tags.
None of these are strictly necessary, (everything was leak-free
without them), but notmuch_message_destroy can actually be useful

The destroy functions for results and tags are fairly gratuitous, as
there's unlikely to be any benefit from calling them. But they're all
easy to add, (all of these functions are just wrappers for talloc_free),

Implement 'notmuch dump'.
This is a fairly big milestone for notmuch. It's our first command
to do anything besides building the index, so it proves we can
actually read valid results out from the index.
It also puts in place almost all of the API and infrastructure we
will need to allow searching of the database.
Finally, with this change we are now using talloc inside of notmuch
which is truly a delight to use. And now that I figured out how
to use C++ objects with talloc allocation, (it requires grotty
parts of C++ such as "placement new" and "explicit destructors"),
we are valgrind-clean for "notmuch dump", (as in "no leaks are
possible").
