f2e2f2aa96 doc: use program and option directives to document options
Use the program and option directives to document the subcommand
options. This unifies a lot of option documentation throughout.

This also makes it possible to reference options with :option:`--foo`
(within .. program::) or :option:`subcommand --foo` (globally). This
is left for later work.

See https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/domains.html#directive-program

Note: There is a lot of indentation change, but intentionally there is
no reflow. Using 'git diff -w' or 'git show -w' to ignore white space
changes makes this a very easy change to review.

ff4e81ac57 doc: cross-reference notmuch man pages with actual links
Add internal hyperlink targets for man pages and cross-reference them
using the any role reference. There are a number of alternatives to
accomplish this, but this seems like the combination that retains the
man page section number and the same boldface style in the man pages.

As a bonus, we get sanity checking on the links; for example
notmuch-search-terms.rst had a reference to notmuch-properties(1)
i.e. the wrong section.

The obvious semantic follow-up change would be to only have meaningful
"see also" references instead of having them all everywhere.

6784d5bc60 doc: fix references to search.exclude_tags
The documentation incorrectly referred to a configuration item
"search.tag_exclude" in some places, instead of "search.exclude_tags".

e5e252de55 doc: unify definition list usage across man pages
Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition
lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation
from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and
definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation.

This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.

6499fce391 doc: make SEE ALSO references one-per-line
This will make future diffs cleaner, make it easier to keep them
alphabetical, and make it easier to scan and search the documentation
sources.

ef763a9e8b doc: whitespace cleanup
In most part, our .rst documents are indented with 8 spaces instead
of tabs. Bring the rest of the lines to the same format.
Also, on one (supposedly empty) line, trailing spaces were removed.

5a3b42fb8c cli/count: add --lastmod
In the short term we need a way to get lastmod information e.g. for
the test suite. In the long term we probably want to add lastmod
information to at least the structured output for several other
clients (e.g. show, search).

d736260385 doc: convert sphinx based docs
This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with
our existing man pages converted to rst.

A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable
for end user use yet.
