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 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.
This moves away from the deprecated notmuch_database_add_message API
and instead uses the notmuch_database_index_file API. This means
instroducing a class to manage the index options and bumping the
library version requirement to 5.1.
