Subject: [PATCH] properties: add notmuch_message_count_properties

The user can already do this manually, of course, but (a) it's nice to
have a convenience function, and (b) exposing this interface means
that someone more clever with a _notmuch_string_map_t than i am can
write a more efficient version if they like, and it will just
accelerate the users of the convenience function.
