bbf6069252 lib: optionally support single argument date: queries
This relies on the FieldProcessor API, which is only present in xapian
>= 1.3.

bf719963a7 man: clarify the parameters for lastmod: range query
<since> and <until> for the lastmod: prefix right below the date:
prefix description give the impression one could use last modified
dates to lastmod: which is not at all the case. Use
<initial-revision>..<final-revision> instead.

23b8ed610a lib: add support for date:<expr>..! to mean date:<expr>..<expr>
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.

Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.

cb08a2ee01 lib: Add "lastmod:" queries for filtering by last modification
The implementation is essentially the same as the date range search
prior to Jani's fancy date parser.

4d5477a3d5 doc: add details about Xapian search syntax
Questions related to the way that probabilistic prefixes and phrases
are handled come up quite often and it is nicer to have the documentation self contained.  Hopefully putting it in subsections prevents it from being overwhelming.

8fb1cbc1c2 Update documentation
Adds new entry to the NEWS file, and updates the search terms section
of the man page.  The search terms section needs to be updated again
once the new section in the documentation covering probablistic terms
has been committed.

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.
