b4b22d3714 string-util: Disallow empty prefixes in parse_boolean_term
Xapian doesn't consider ":abc" to be a prefixed term.  This makes
parse_boolean_term similarly reject queries with an empty prefix.

7c3a995d6b util: Function to parse boolean term queries
This parses the subset of Xapian's boolean term quoting rules that are
used by make_boolean_term.  This is provided as a generic string
utility, but will be used shortly in notmuch restore to parse and
optimize for ID queries.

25cf5f5dc4 util: Factor out boolean term quoting routine
This is now a generic boolean term quoting function.  It performs
minimal quoting to produce user-friendly queries.

This could live in tag-util as well, but it is really nothing specific
to tags (although the conventions are specific to Xapian).

The API is changed from "caller-allocates" to "readline-like".  The
scan for max tag length is pushed down into the quoting routine.
Furthermore, this now combines the term prefix with the quoted term;
arguably this is just as easy to do in the caller, but this will
nicely parallel the boolean term parsing function to be introduced
shortly.

This is an amalgamation of code written by David Bremner and myself.

9ff72a83bd util: add string-util.[ch]
This is to give a home to strtok_len. It's a bit silly to add a header
for one routine, but it needs to be shared between several compilation
units (or at least that's the most natural design).
