This introduces CFFI-based Python3-only bindings.
The bindings aim at:
- Better performance on pypy
- Easier to use Python-C interface
- More "pythonic"
- The API should not allow invalid operations
- Use native object protocol where possible
- Memory safety; whatever you do from python, it should not coredump.
From notmuch 0.28, notmuch support relative database path in
notmuch-config(1), but python binding haven't taught this yet.
afew denied to work with a perfectly fine notmuch-config due to this.
In Python bindings, Message.get_property fails with an AttributeError when trying to fetch a property that doesn't exist.

Subject: [PATCH] python: fix get_property error when property doesn't exist
Indent the directive properly to attach it to Threads autoclass
documentation.
Fixes:
WARNING: don't know which module to import for autodocumenting
'__str__' (try placing a "module" or "currentmodule" directive in the
document, or giving an explicit module name)
The simplistic mocking in conf.py falls short on python 3.7. Just use
unittest.mock instead.
Fixes:

This way, one can build for a different Ruby than $PATH/ruby
(e. g. different versions, or Ruby in other paths).

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.
It is unlikely this still works since it has not been updated since
2010. The python packages for debian are now built by the top level
debian/ packaging.
We adopt a pythonic idiom here with an optional argument, rather than
exposing the user to the C indexopts object directly.
This now includes a simple test to ensure that the decrypt_policy
argument works as expected.
The old name has a bit of a feeling of hungarian notation. Also many
generators in the core are named with the suffix "s" to indicate
iterables: dict.items, dict.keys for example.
It makes the function a little more intuitive to use and does not
diverge much from the original function signature.
Also an example is added to the docstring.
The C functions notmuch_database_get_config,
notmuch_database_get_config_list and notmuch_database_set_config are
part of the official C bindings. So there should also be some python
bindings for them.
Also they are the only way to access the named queries introduced in
b9bf3f44.
The interface of the python functions is designed to be close to the C
functions.
