python: Do not implicitely call maildir_flags_to_tags etc

In order to remain consistent with the underlying C API, we do not
automatically synchronize notmuch tags and maildir flags anymore.

The underlying functions Message.maildir_flags_to_tags and
Message.tags_to_maildir_flags still exist and are available to the user.
