Replace multiple tables with some flags in a single table. This makes
the code in notmuch_database_open_verbose a bit shorter, and it should
also make it easier to add other options to fields, e.g. regexp
searching.
This allows the user to save the address hash so that it is much
faster for the first completion after a restart. This defaults to off
as there are privacy implications to saving this information.
The code tries hard to avoid overwriting the wrong file. It also notes
if changes have been made to any of the relevant user settings, so
that the user does not get surprising results (i.e., outdated options
being used). Finally it stores some version information so that is
easy for us to update the format of the save file.
This makes the code access notmuch-address-full-harvest-finished via a
helper function, notmuch-address--harvest-ready. Later we will use
this to check whether we can load the harvest instead of regenerating
it.
Split file ignores in count_files to fixed and user configured in
order to not have to call _entry_in_ignore_list twice when debugging
is enabled. Minor detail.

Removing the removal of byteorder configure test files was overlooked
in commit 5a957c3f33 ("build & util: drop byte order configure check
and endian util header"). Finish the job.
With the removal of the embedded libsha1, we lost the first and last
user of the platform byte order checks. Remove them from configure,
and remove the endian util header.
We already depend on glib both directly and indirectly (via gmime). We
might as well make use of its facilities. Drop the embedded libsha1
and use glib for sha1 digests.
The todo comment got separated from the status it's related to at
commit 3f32fd8a1c ("Add missing comment for
NOTMUCH_STATUS_READONLY_DATABASE."). Later, commit b65ca8e0ba ("lib:
modify notmuch.h for automatic document generation") moved it, but to
the wrong place. Fix the location.
Do not initialize each field separately. It's more robust to allocate
the config with zero initialization, and only set the non-zero
defaults individually.
Since the sed expansion line which did $prefix expansion for
libdir_expanded was changed from the legacy `...` format to the
new $(...) expression, the subtle backslash expansion change went
unnoticed -- \\$ which used to escape '$' now escapes '\' and the
following '$prefix' was attempted to expand as a variable. So
changing \\$ to \$ fixes this.
Also, replaced echo with printf %s -- echo does expansions of its own.
While at it, the following 2 inconsistencies were fixed:
1) the /g flag was removed from first expression; second didn't have it
2) first expression did not end with /, so "dropped" it from second

Config files are currently read using glib's g_key_file_load_from_file
function which is very inconvenient because it's limited by design to read
only from "regular data files" in a filesystem. Because of this limitation
notmuch can't read configs from pipes, fifos, sockets, stdin, etc. Not even
"notmuch --config=/dev/stdin" works:
Error reading configuration file /dev/stdin: Not a regular file
So replace g_key_file_load_from_file with g_key_file_load_from_data which
gives us much more freedom to read configs from multiple sources.
This also helps the more security sensitive users: If someone has private
information in the config file, it can be encrypted on disk, then decrypted
in RAM and passed through a pipe directly to notmuch without the use of
intermediate plain text files.

Attempt to distinguish between errors indicating misconfiguration or
programmer error, which we consider "permanent", in the sense that
automatic retries are unlikely to be useful, and those indicating
transient error conditions. We consider XAPIAN_EXCEPTION transient
because it covers the important special case of locking failure.
The idea is to get the mail written to disk, even if we can't open the
database (e.g. because some other process has a write lock, and notmuch
is compiled for non-blocking opens).
Running `gdb command < input` is not as reliable way to give input
to the command (some installations of gdb consume it). Use "set args"
gdb command to have input redirected at gdb 'run' time.
There is really no need to have a separate install target for the
desktop file. Just install the desktop file with emacs, with a
configure option to opt out.
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.
