The show command outputs all messages in the threads that match the
search-terms. This patch introduces a 'match:[01]' entry to the 'message{'
line output by the show command. Value of 1 indicates that the message is
matching the search expression.

When _notmuch_thread_create() is given a query string, it can return more
messages than just those matching the query. To distinguish those that
matched the query expression, the MATCHING_SEARCH flag is set
appropriately.

This patch allows for different flags, internal to notmuch, to be set on a
message object. The patch does not define any such flags, just the
facilities to manage these flags.

We want to allow the user to be able to use search expressions with
parentheses and semi-colons, etc. and we definitely don't want the
shell interpreting those!
Previously, our emacs interface was waiting for the "notmuch search"
to complete before it would display anything. Now, we execute the
process asyncrhonously and filter results as they come in.
This takes advantage of the recent work to make "notmuch search"
results stream out steadily. The result is that some search results
will be available nearly instantly and the user can navigate and view
those while additional results continue loading.
Xapian provides an interator-based interface to all search results.
So it was natural to make notmuch_messages_t be iterator-based as
well. Which we did originally.
But we ran into a problem when we added two APIs, (_get_replies and
_get_toplevel_messages), that want to return a messages iterator
that's *not* based on a Xapian search result. My original compromise
was to use notmuch_message_list_t as the basis for all returned
messages iterators in the public interface.
This had the problem of introducing extra latency at the beginning
of a search for messages, (the call would block while iterating over
all results from Xapian, converting to a message list).
In this commit, we remove that initial conversion and instead provide
two alternate implementations of notmuch_messages_t (one on top of a
Xapian iterator and one on top of a message list).
With this change, I tested a "notmuch search" returning *many* results
as previously taking about 7 seconds before results started appearing,
and now taking only 2 seconds.
