Optimize thread search using matched docid sets.
This reduces thread search's 1+2t Xapian queries (where t is the
number of matched threads) to 1+t queries and constructs exactly one
notmuch_message_t for each message instead of 2 to 3.
notmuch_query_search_threads eagerly fetches the docids of all
messages matching the user query instead of lazily constructing
message objects and fetching thread ID's from term lists.
_notmuch_thread_create takes a seed docid and the set of all matched
docids and uses a single Xapian query to expand this docid to its
containing thread, using the matched docid set to determine which
messages in the thread match the user query instead of using a second
Xapian query.

lib: Remove the notion of TAGS_INVALID
This rather ugly hack was recently obviated by the removal of the

explicit calls to do any syncrhonization between maildir flags and

synchronization while a message is only partially added.

lib: Rework interface for maildir_flags synchronization
Instead of having an API for setting a library-wide flag for

implement maildir synchronization with two new library functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
and notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags

does not quite match the documentation yet---as plainly evidenced by
the current results of the test suite).

Avoid abbreviation, preferring notmuch_config_get_maildir_synchronize_flags

notmuch_config_get_maildir_synchronize_flags

These needed to be changed to be brought up to the current state of

elimination of any assumption about pre-existing message filenames,

Also, the known broken tests are changed to emit FAIL rather than
BROKEN simply to make them easier to fix, (so that they print the
current problems rather than hiding them).
Finally, an additional test is added to ensure that when a duplicate
file is added without flags, it doesn't invalidate flags from other
duplicates, (instead the flags are effectively merged).

lib: Remove the synchronization of 'T' flag with "deleted" tag.
Tags in a notmuch database affect all messages with the identical
message-ID. But maildir tags affect individual files. And since
multiple files can contain the identical message-ID, there is not a
one-to-one correspondence between messages affected by tags and flags.
This is particularly dangerous with the 'T' (== "trashed") maildir
flag and the corresponding "deleted" tag in the notmuch
database. Since these flags/tags are often used to trigger
irreversible deletion operations, the lack of one-to-one
correspondence can be potentially dangerous.
For example, consider the following sequence:
1. A third-party application is used to identify duplicate messages
in the mail store, and mark all-but-one of each duplicate with
the 'T' flag for subsequent deletion.
2. A "notmuch new" operation reads that 'T' flag, adding the
"deleted" flag to the corresponding messages within the notmuch
database.
3. A subsequent notmuch operation, (such as a "notmuch dump; notmuch
restore" cycle) synchronized the "deleted" tag back to the mail
store, applying the 'T' flag to all(!) filenames with duplicate
message IDs.
4. A third-party application reads the 'T' flags and irreversibly
deletes all mail messages which had any duplicates(!).
In order to avoid this scenario, we simply refuse to synchronize the
'T' flag with the "deleted" tag. Instead, applications can set 'T' and
act on it to delete files, or can set "deleted" and act on it to
delete files. But in either case the semantics are clear and there is
never dangerous propagation through the one-to-many mapping of notmuch
message objects to files.

test: Rework testing of maildir-synchronization feature.
This change reworks these tests in several ways:
1. Bring tests into "new" test style preferring test_expect_equal over
test_expect_success in almost all cases.
2. Don't emit test results for intermediate items not actually being
tested, (things like "no new messages", "search for message",
etc.). Those things are already covered by existing tests such as
"basic" or "search" and only serve to obscure what's actually being
tested.
3. Change sense of the test showing failure to rename a file from
"new" to "cur" when "cur" doesn't exist.
In this case, notmuch should detect that this is not a maildir and
should not attempt to do any renaming of the file.
4. Extend dump/restore test to also exercise addition of tag, not just
removal.
Both items #3 and #4 above show shortcomings in the current
implementation. These are currently resulting in test results of FAIL
and indicate bugs that need to be fixed.

Maildir synchronization
This patch allows bi-directional synchronization between maildir
flags and certain tags. The flag-to-tag mapping is defined by flag2tag
array.
The synchronization works this way:
1) Whenever notmuch new is executed, the following happens:
o New messages are tagged with configured new_tags.
o For new or renamed messages with maildir info present in the file
name, the tags defined in flag2tag are either added or removed
depending on the flags from the file name.
2) Whenever notmuch tag (or notmuch restore) is executed, a new set of
flags based on the tags is constructed for every message and a new
file name is prepared based on the old file name but with the new
flags. If the flags differs and the old message was in 'new'
directory then this is replaced with 'cur' in the new file name. If
the new and old file names differ, the file is renamed and notmuch
database is updated accordingly.
The rename happens before the database is updated. In case of crash
between rename and database update, the next run of notmuch new
brings the database in sync with the mail store again.
