d080b4100a doc: clean up boolean vs. probabilistic prefixes
sphinx-build emits a minor warning:

[...]doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst:223: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

And the tabular representation of boolean or probabilistic prefixes
currently renders like this when i view it in man:

       ┌───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
       │Boolean                    │ Probabilistic              │
       └───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘

       │          tag: id:         │           from: to:        │
       │                           │                            │
       │       thread:     folder: │        subject:    attach‐ │
       │       path:               │        ment: mimetype:     │
       └───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘

This isn't just ugly: it's confusing, because it seems to imply that
some of the prefixes in the left-hand column are somehow related to
specific other prefixes in the right-hand column.

The Definition List representation introduced by this patch should be
simpler for readers to understand, and doesn't have the warning.

b9bf3f44ea lib: add support for named queries

2d2a13966c CLI: add notmuch-config support for named queries
Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.

A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.

7b7dadb93f notmuch-emacs-mua: make --auto-daemon imply --create-frame
Before this change with --auto-daemon but without --create-frame
emacs server was started but no clients stay connected to it
(in both graphical and terminal displays).

Note that this changes how --client --auto-daemon works on
graphical display; New emacs frame is now created for the
message (and message-exit-actions hook appended).

02e394aed2 cli: do not sort addresses on --output=count or --deduplicate=address

23b8ed610a lib: add support for date:<expr>..! to mean date:<expr>..<expr>
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.

Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.

f76d8f82dd cli: add global option "--uuid"
The function notmuch_exit_if_unmatched_db_uuid is split from
notmuch_process_shared_options because it needs an open notmuch
database.

There are two exceptional cases in uuid handling.

1) notmuch config and notmuch setup don't currently open the database,
   so it doesn't make sense to check the UUID.

2) notmuch compact opens the database inside the library, so we either
   need to open the database just to check uuid, or change the API.

c883e632bf CLI: make gpg binary used by libgmime configurable.
Previously we set up a way for the top level notmuch command to choose
which gpg binary was invoked by libgmime. In this commit we add the
(mostly boilerplate) code to allow the notmuch-config command to read
and write this path, and use it in the appropriate struct.

5240c438f5 notmuch-emacs-mua: remove -C to keep short options compatible with mutt
Notmuch uses long options exclusively all around. The short options in
notmuch-emacs-mua are intentionally just a compatible subset of
mutt(1). Keep it this way, if only to make documenting the fact easy!

The Notmuch style --client long option remains, of course.

2bb906a6dd build: eliminate use of python execfile command
As discussed in
id:8cc9dd580ad672527e12f43706f9803b2c8e99d8.1405220724.git.wking@tremily.us,
execfile is unavailable in python3.

The approach of this commit avoids modifying the python module path,
which is arguably preferable since it avoids potentially accidentally
importing a module from the wrong place.

5c27136e64 cli: Introduce "notmuch address" command
This moves address-related functionality from search command to the
new address command. The implementation shares almost all code and
some command line options.

Options --offset and --limit were intentionally not included in the
address command, because they refer to messages numbers, which users
do not see in the output. This could confuse users because, for
example, they could see more addresses in the output that what was
specified with --limit. This functionality can be correctly
reimplemented for address subcommand later.

Also useless values of --exclude flag were not included in the address
command.

This was inspired by a patch from Jani Nikula.

The new outputs allow printing senders, recipients or both of matching

--output=recipients simultaneously.

Currently, the same address can appear multiple times in the output.
The next commit will change this. For this reason, tests are
introduced there.

We use mailbox_t rather than InternetAddressMailbox because we will
need to extend it in a following commit.

This code is based on a patch from Jani Nikula.

Change it to instead reference the JSON text and actually describe how
the S-expression format works.

c3d54c4b54 doc/prerst2man.py: Fix 'os.system' -> 'system' typo
Avoid:

  $ make HAVE_SPHINX=0 HAVE_RST2MAN=1 build-man
  python ./doc/prerst2man.py ./doc doc/_build/man
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./doc/prerst2man.py", line 65, in <module>
      os.system('set -x; rst2man {0} {1}/{2}.{3}'
  NameError: name 'os' is not defined
  make: *** [doc/_build/man/man1/notmuch.1] Error 1

by using system directly.  We don't need the 'os.' namespacing,
because the function was imported with:

  from os import makedirs, system

334f247d9f doc/prerst2man.py: Use Python-3-compatible octal notation

427b3db243 doc/mkdocdeps.py: Use "with" statement for the output file
Before this patch, the open was unnecessarily early and relied on the
process cleanup to close.  Neither one of these was a real problem,
but PEP 343's context managers (which landed in Python 2.5) make
proper cleanup very easy.

b10b12da89 doc/mkdocdeps.py: Convert execfile to import
excefile is gone in Python 3 [1].  Instead of exec-ing the
configuration, it's easier to insert the source directory in Python's
path [2], and just import the configuration.  With this change,
mkdocdeps.py is compatible with both Python 2 and 3.

59c6103e1c doc: Fix parallel build of roff files
The roff build rule builds all of the roff files in a single command.
Previously, this was expressed as a multi-target rule, but since this
is equivalent to specifying a copy of the rule for each target, make
-jN could start up to N parallel instances of this command.  Fix this
by bottlenecking this rule through a single stamp file.

This also removes the unused man.stamp from CLEAN.

4c62d9366a restore: transparently support gzipped input
We rely completely on zlib to do the right thing in detecting gzipped
input. Since our dump format is chosen to be 7 bit ascii, this should
be fine.

3c13bc0321 dump: support gzipped and atomic output
The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal
calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump.

The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls
in zlib.

We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the
dump file is either present and complete, or not present.  This avoids
certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a
bad or partial one.

The subtle part is adding .rst and .py files to vpath so they can be
used as dependencies without prefixing with $(srcdir)

We also change the interface to mkbuildeps.py: rather than getting the
containing directory from the conf file path, we go the other way.

beef0a8f55 doc: configure detection of sphinx and rst2man
Because sphinx-build does not provide a convenient way of listing
which builders exist, and some people actually have pre 1.0 sphinx, we
try loading a relevant python module.

Currently the assumption is that no python in path -> no sphinx-build
in path.

533639b143 doc: build man pages into hierarchy, fix help test.
It turns out there was a reason the old man pages were stored in a man
compatible hierarchy, namely so that we could run man on them before
installing.

Hardcode doc build location into test suite.  This isn't ideal, but
let's unbreak the test suite for now.

pages) owned by root.

The variables allow choosing which generator to use for the man page.
These will be hooked to configure in a following commit.
