In order for a database to actually be writeable, it must be the case that it
is open, not just the correct type of Xapian object. By explicitely
checking, we are able to provide better error reporting, in particular
for the previously broken test in T566-lib-message.
If we know the configuration is split, but there is no mail root
defined, this indicates a (lack of) configuration error. Currently
this can only arise in XDG configurations.
The previous (pre-0.34.2) constructor searched for a config file but
only if the database path was not specified, and only to retrieve
database.path. Neither of the available options (CONFIG.SEARCH or
CONFIG.NONE) matches this semantics exactly, but CONFIG.SEARCH causes
less breakage for people who relied on the old behaviour to set their
database.path [1]. Since it also seems like the friendlier option in
the long run, this commit switches to CONFIG.SEARCH as default.
This requires a certain amount of updating the pytest tests, but most
users will actually have a config file, unlike the test environment.

If we return regular Message objects, python will try to destroy them,
and the underlying notmuch object, causing e.g. the crash [1].

Existing users of the legacy python bindings use
message.get_flags(Message.FLAG.MATCH) to determine which messages in a
thread matched. Since the bindings don't provide get_flags anymore,
they should provide a property analogous to the existing "excluded"
property.
The main idea is to replace the hack of copying version.txt into the
bindings source with a generated _notmuch_config.py file.
This will mean that the bindings only build after configuring and
building notmuch itself. Given those constraints, "pip install ."
should work.
Since release 0.32, libnotmuch provides searching for database and
configuration paths. This commit changes the python module notmuch2 to
use those facilities.
This fixes the bug reported in [1], along with a couple of the
deprecation warnings in the python bindings.
Database.default_path is deprecated, since it no longer faithfully
reflects what libnotmuch is doing, and it is also no longer used in
the bindings themselves.
This commit choose the default of config=CONFIG.EMPTY (equivalent to
passing "" to notmuch_database_open_with_config). This makes the
change upward compatible API-wise (at least as far as the test suite
verifies), but changing the default to CONFIG.SEARCH would probably be
more convenient for bindings users.

This will allow client code to provide more meaningful diagnostics. In
particular it will enable "notmuch new" to continue suggsting the user
run "notmuch setup" to create a config after "notmuch new" is
transitioned to the new configuration framework.
A typo in Database._create_query lost the exclude_tag names during the
string to utf-8 conversion.
Amended by DB: fixed patch format and updated commit message.
Building Notmuch on macOS is known to cause problems because the Notmuch
distribution archive contains two files named "version". These names
clash with the <version> header as defined in C++20. Therefore, the
existing naming will likely become a problem on other platforms as well,
once compilers adopt the new standard.
