In particular this fixes a recently encountered bug where the
"--config" argument to "notmuch setup" is silently ignored, which the
unpleasant consequence of overwriting the users config file.
We now have a notmuch_config_is_new() function to query whether a
config was created or not. Change the notmuch_config_open() is_new
parameter into boolean create_new to determine whether the function
should create a new config if one doesn't exist. This reduces the
complexity of the API.
When we switch to using regular Xapian queries in the dump format, \n
will cause problems, so we disallow it. Specially, while Xapian can
quote and parse queries containing \n without difficultly, quoted
queries containing \n still span multiple lines, which breaks the
line-orientedness of the dump format. Strictly speaking, we could
still round-trip these, but it would significantly complicate restore
as well as scripts that deal with tag dumps. This complexity would
come at absolutely no benefit: because of the RFC 2822 unfolding
rules, no amount of standards negligence can produce a message with a
message ID containing a line break (not even Outlook can do it!).
Hence, we simply disallow it.
Initial use case is testing dump and restore, so we only have
message-ids and tags.
The message ID's are nothing like RFC compliant, but it doesn't seem
any harder to roundtrip random UTF-8 strings than RFC-compliant ones.
Tags are UTF-8, even though notmuch is in principle more generous than
that.

- talk about Unicode value rather some specific encoding
- call talloc_realloc less times
