Due to the change in the config system, notmuch keeps a notmuch database
open when it would not do so before. Consequently, it can miss changes
to the database which are done from a hook (while notmuch holds the
databse in read only mode). When notmuch itself writes to the database
after that it uses wrong assumptions about the last used doc id etc.
Demonstrate this by triggering an assertion. (This new test succeeds
with notmuch 0.31.4.)

Amended-by: db. Check for both messages
Prior to 0.32, notmuch had the (undocumented) behaviour that it
expanded a relative value of database.path with respect to $HOME. In
0.32 this was special cased for database.path but broken for
database.mail_root, which causes problems for at least notmuch-new
when database.path is set to a relative path.
The change in T030-config.sh reflects a user visible, but hopefully
harmless behaviour change; the expanded form of the paths will now be
printed by notmuch config.
Passing an unparsed header field to Mail::Field.new is deprecated and will be removed in Mail 2.8.0. Use Mail::Field.parse instead.

The lastest versions of GNU parallel no longer make mention of GNU
within their help output. This causes the test script to mistakenly use
the moreutils parallel execution. In order to fix this, while
maintaining compatibility with previous versions of GNU parallel,
--version should be used.

Apparently the -f option to hostname is not portable, and in fact it
does not seem to always behave reasonably in e.g. a chroot.

When compat canonicalize_file_name was introduced, it was limited to
C code only because it was used by C code only during that time.
>From 5ec6fd4d, (lib/open: check for split configuration when creating
database., 2021-02-16), lib/open.cc, which is C++, relies on the
existent of canonicalize_file_name.
However, we can't blindly enable canonicalize_file_name for C++ code,
because different implementation has different additional signature for
C++ and users can arbitrarily add -DHAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME=0 to
{C,CXX}FLAGS.
Let's move our implementation into a util library.

Ignoring this return value seems like a bad idea in general, and in
particular it has been hiding one or more bugs related to handling
long directory names.
lib/open.cc:_load_key_file will only open xdg-config files in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME if it's defined, $HOME/.config will be considered if
and only if XDG_CONFIG_HOME not defined.
Let's unset said variable before running the test.
This is intended to fix the slow behaviour of "notmuch new" (and possibly
"notmuch reindex") when large numbers of files are deleted.
The underlying issue [1] seems to be the Xapian glass backend spending
a large amount of time in db.has_positions when running queries with
large-ish amounts of unflushed changes.
This commit removes two uses of Xapian queries [2], and replaces them with
an approximation of what Xapian would do after optimizing the
queries. This avoids the calls to has_positions (which are in any case
un-needed because we are only using boolean terms here).
[1] Thanks to "andres" on IRC for narrowing down the performance
bottleneck.
[2] Thanks to Olly Betts of Xapian fame for talking me a through a fix
that does not require people to update Xapian.
Without the proposed fix for deletion performance [1], this test is
probably unreasonably slow compared to others at the same
small/medium/large scale.

Certain tools like the address-sanitizer fail if they are not the
first LD_PRELOADed library. It does not seem to matter for our shims,
as long as they are loaded before libnotmuch.
The name is a compromise between keeping function names from getting
too long, and avoiding confusion with the newer notmuch_config library
API. Try to make clear that the residual functionality is only about
updating configuration files.
This will allow simplifying the subcommand interface.
Change the internal API to notmuch_config_open to not tie it to the
implementation of subcommands in notmuch.c.
It also fixes a previously broken test, since notmuch_config_open does
not understand the notion of the empty string as a config file name.
There are two small code changes. The main one is to retrieve the
possibly updated config file name found during the database opening
call. The second change is to allow empty config file names, as
a (currently broken) way of specifying that configuration should only
be taken from the database.
Since the library searches in several locations for a config file, the
caller does not know which of these is chosen in the usual case of
passing NULL as a config file. This changes provides an API for the
caller to retrieve the name of the config file chosen. It will be
tested in a following commit.
Eventually we want to do all opening of databases in the top
level (main function). This means that detection of missing databases
needs to move out of subcommands. It also requires updating the
library to use the new NO_DATABASE status code.
Previously the fact that some configuration options were only stored
in the database (and thus editing the config file had no effect) was a
source of user confusion. This was fixed with the series ending at
d9af0af164.
On the other hand, the underlying partition of config options into
those stored by default in the database and those stored in the config
file remained. This is also confusing, since now some invocations of
"notmuch config set" modify the config file, and others silently
modify the database instead.
With this commit, it is up to the user to decide which configuration
to modify. A new "--database" option is provided for notmuch config to
enable modifying the configuration information in the database;
otherwise the default is to update an external config file.
The goal at this point is to remove the dependence on
notmuch_config_get_* without breaking any existing functionality. This
is a step towards removing notmuch_config_get_* in a future commit.
