notmuch restore: Print names of tags that cannot be applied
This helps the user gauge the severity of the error.
For example, when restoring my sup tags I see a bunch of tags missing
for message IDs of the form "sup-faked-...". That's not surprising
since I know that sup generates these with the md5sum of the message
header while notmuch uses the sha-1 of the entire message. But how
much will this hurt?
Well, now that I can see that most of the missing tags are just
"attachment", then I'm not concerned, (I'll be automatically creating
that tag in the future based on the message contents). But if a
missing tag is "inbox" then that's more concerning because that's data
that I can't easily regenerate outside of sup.

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.

Rework message parsing to use getline rather than mmap.
The line-based parsing can be a bit awkward when wanting to peek
ahead, (say, for folded header values), but it's so convenient
to be able to trust that a string terminator exists on every
line so it cleans up the code considerably.

Document which pieces of glib we're still using.
Looks like we can copy in a hash-table implementation, (from cairo,
say), and then a few _ascii_ functions from glib, (we'll need to
switch a few current uses if things like isspace, etc. to locale-
independent versions as well). So not too hard to free ourselves
of glib for now, (until we add GMime back in later, of course).

The original code expected this to be set by running configure.
We'll just manually set it here for now. This isn't as portable

When someone comes along that wants to port notmuch to another

date.c: Don't use glib's slice allocator.
This change is gratuitous. For now, notmuch is still linking
against glib, so I don't have any requirement to remove this,
(unlike the last few changes where good taste really did
require the changes).
The motivation here is two-fold:
1. I'm considering switching away from all glib-based allocation
soon so that I can more easily verify that the memory management
is solid. I want valgrind to say "no leaks are possible" not
"there is tons of memory still allocated, but probably reachable
so who knows if there are leaks or not?". And glib seems to make
that impossible.
2. I don't think there's anything performance-sensitive about the
allocation here. (In fact, if there is, then the right answer
would be to do this parsing without any allocation whatsoever.)

date.c: Remove occurrences of gboolean.
While this is surely one of the most innocent typedefs, it still
annoys me to have basic types like 'int' re-defined like this.
It just makes it harder to copy the code between projects, with
very little benefit in readability.
For readability, predicate functions and variables should be
obviously Boolean-natured by their actual *names*.

date.c: Remove all occurrences of g_return_val_if_fail
That's got to be one of the hardest macro names to read, ever,
(it's phrased with an implicit negative in the condition,
rather than something simple like "assert").
Plus, it's evil, since it's a macro with a return in it.
And finally, it's actually *longer* than just typing "if"
and "return". So what's the point of this ugly idiom?

useful.

compared to GMime it's also a lot faster. And speed is what

notmuch: Start actually adding messages to the index.
This is the beginning of the notmuch library as well, with its
interface in notmuch.h. So far we've got create, open, close, and
add_message (all with a notmuch_database prefix).
The current add_message function has already been whittled down from
what we have in notmuch-index-message to add only references,
message-id, and thread-id to the index, (that is---just enough to do
thread-linkage but nothing for full-text searching).
The concept here is to do something quickly so that the user can get
some data into notmuch and start using it. (The most interesting stuff
is then thread-linkage and labels like inbox and unread.) We can
defer the full-text indexing of the body of the messages for later,
(such as in the background while the user is reading mail).
The initial thread-stitching step is still slower than I would like.
We may have to stop using libgmime for this step as its overhead is
not worth it for the simple case of just parsing the message-id,
references, and in-reply-to headers.

Fix more memory leaks.
These were more significant than the previous leak because these were

g_hash_table_new_and_leak_memory_please. The actually useful function
is g_hash_table_new_full which lets us pass a free function, (to free
keys when inserting duplicates into the hash table). And after all,
weeding out duplicates is the only reason we are using this hash table
in the first place.
It almost goes without saying, valgrind found these leaks.

When looking for a trailing ':' to introduce a quotation we peek at

bail early on blank lines since they have no terms anyway.

Generate random thread IDs instead of using an arbitrary Message-ID.
Previously, we used as the thread-id the message-id of the first

totally arbitrary identifier, so it might as well be random. And an
advantage of actually using a random identifier is that we now have
