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.

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.
