qsort(3) does not promise stability, and recent versions of glibc have
been showing more unstable behaviour [2]. Michael Gruber observed [1] test
breakage due to changing output order for message properties.
We provide a sorting order of (key,value) pairs that _looks_ stable by
breaking ties based on value if keys are equal. Internally there may
be some instability in the case of duplicate (key,value) pairs, but it
should not be observable via the iterator API.

I can't figure out how checking the sign of a bool ever worked. The
following program demonstrates the problem (i.e. for me it prints 1).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
bool x;
x = -1;
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
This seems to be mandated by the C99 standard 6.3.1.2.
Correct URLs that have crept into the notmuch codebase with http://
when https:// is possible.
As part of this conversion, this changeset also indicates the current
preferred upstream URLs for both gmime and sup. the new URLs are
https-enabled, the old ones are not.
This also fixes T310-emacs.sh, thanks to Bremner for catching it.
C99 stdbool turned 18 this year. There really is no reason to use our
own, except in the library interface for backward
compatibility. Convert the lib internally to stdbool.
This is needed so that when the map is modified during traversal, and
thus unlinked by the database code, the map is not disposed of until the
iterator is done with it.
