lib: search_threads: Fix nested search to handle original search of "*"

When constructing a thread, we usually run a nested query to find all
messages in the thread that match the original search string. However,
we need to have special-case handling of an original search string of
"*" now that that is a supported means of specifying all messages.

The special-case ends up bein quite simple---we do less work, (just
skipping the nested search since we know that all messages must
match). I had been wanting to write this identical code to more
efficiently handle "notmuch search thread:<foo>" which was previously
running two identical searches. So that case is now more efficient as
well.

* But under two circumstances, we use only the

*
* 1. If the original query_string *is* just the thread
* specification.
*
* 2. If the original query_string matches all messages ("" or
* "*").
*
* In either of these cases, we can be more efficient by running
* just the thread_id query (since we know all messages in the
* thread will match the query_string).
*
* Beyond the performance advantage, in the second case, it's
* important to not try to create a concatenated query because our
* parser handles "" and "*" as special cases and will not do the
* right thing with a query string of "* and thread:<foo>".
