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.
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.
Use the database opened at the top level rather than opening another
notmuch_database_t.
Test output changes because keys are now listed in alphabetical order,
and because a missing database is no longer an error.
This commit starts the conversion of notmuch-config.c
functionality (as opposed to just interface) to the new config
framework.
The change to T030-config is because of the move of the
canonicalization database paths from the notmuch_config_t accessor to
the internal function _choose_database_path.
Note that we do keep ignoring the gpg_path configuration option,
though, to avoid breakage of existing installations. It is ignored
like any other unknown configuration option, but we at least document
that it is ignored so that people who find it in their legacy configs
can know that it's safe to drop.

POSIX doesn't specify the flushing behaviour of the STDOUT stream, so
it's invalid to assume a particular order between the stdout and stderr
output. The current test breaks on musl due to this.
gmime 3.0 no longer offers a means to set the path for gpg.
Users can set $PATH anyway if they want to pick a
differently-installed gpg (e.g. /usr/local/bin/gpg), so this isn't
much of a reduction in functionality.
The one main difference is for people who have tried to use "gpg2" to
make use of gpg 2.1, but that isn't usefully co-installable anyway.
This support will be present only if the appropriate version of xapian
is available _and_ the user did not disable the feature when
building. So there really needs to be some way for the user to check.
Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.
A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.
The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides
information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to
succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations
(e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*).
At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added;
In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the
file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last
command of the sourced file exited nonzero.
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.
Update tests for new default variable
All test scripts to be executed are now named as T\d\d\d-name.sh,
numers in increments of 10.
This eases adding new tests and developers to see which are test scripts
that are executed by test suite and in which order.
