d080b4100a doc: clean up boolean vs. probabilistic prefixes
sphinx-build emits a minor warning:

[...]doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst:223: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

And the tabular representation of boolean or probabilistic prefixes
currently renders like this when i view it in man:

       ┌───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
       │Boolean                    │ Probabilistic              │
       └───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘

       │          tag: id:         │           from: to:        │
       │                           │                            │
       │       thread:     folder: │        subject:    attach‐ │
       │       path:               │        ment: mimetype:     │
       └───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘

This isn't just ugly: it's confusing, because it seems to imply that
some of the prefixes in the left-hand column are somehow related to
specific other prefixes in the right-hand column.

The Definition List representation introduced by this patch should be
simpler for readers to understand, and doesn't have the warning.

6a833a6e83 Use https instead of http where possible
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http.  This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.

b9bf3f44ea lib: add support for named queries
This relies on the optional presense of xapian field processors, and the
library config API.

2d2a13966c CLI: add notmuch-config support for named queries
Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.

A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.

7b7dadb93f notmuch-emacs-mua: make --auto-daemon imply --create-frame
Before this change with --auto-daemon but without --create-frame
emacs server was started but no clients stay connected to it
(in both graphical and terminal displays).

Note that this changes how --client --auto-daemon works on
graphical display; New emacs frame is now created for the
message (and message-exit-actions hook appended).

passing the same option to emacsclient to create a frame.

17fcf24d8b notmuch-emacs-mua: add --auto-daemon option to start Emacs daemon as needed

02e394aed2 cli: do not sort addresses on --output=count or --deduplicate=address
The order of the results with --output=count and --deduplicate=address
are unspecified as they're based on a hash table traversal. This being
the case, optimize the query by explicitly requesting unsorted
results. Clarify the documentation accordingly.

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>.

f76d8f82dd cli: add global option "--uuid"
The function notmuch_exit_if_unmatched_db_uuid is split from
notmuch_process_shared_options because it needs an open notmuch
database.

There are two exceptional cases in uuid handling.

1) notmuch config and notmuch setup don't currently open the database,
   so it doesn't make sense to check the UUID.

2) notmuch compact opens the database inside the library, so we either
   need to open the database just to check uuid, or change the API.

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).

c883e632bf CLI: make gpg binary used by libgmime configurable.
Previously we set up a way for the top level notmuch command to choose
which gpg binary was invoked by libgmime. In this commit we add the
(mostly boilerplate) code to allow the notmuch-config command to read
and write this path, and use it in the appropriate struct.

5240c438f5 notmuch-emacs-mua: remove -C to keep short options compatible with mutt
Notmuch uses long options exclusively all around. The short options in
notmuch-emacs-mua are intentionally just a compatible subset of
mutt(1). Keep it this way, if only to make documenting the fact easy!

The Notmuch style --client long option remains, of course.

2bb906a6dd build: eliminate use of python execfile command
As discussed in
id:8cc9dd580ad672527e12f43706f9803b2c8e99d8.1405220724.git.wking@tremily.us,
execfile is unavailable in python3.

The approach of this commit avoids modifying the python module path,
which is arguably preferable since it avoids potentially accidentally
importing a module from the wrong place.
