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].

This reproduces the bug reported at [1]. The second test hints at the
solution, making reply return OwnedMessage objects.

This will correct the current use of an undefined variable when
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in doc/Makefile.local
It is tempting to try to replace the use of test/export-dirs.sh, but
this is not as simple as it looks, as NOTMUCH_BUILDDIR is used to
locate sh.config, so probably cannot also sensibly be used to define
it.
It makes perfect sense for users to want to pre-create .notmuch,
e.g. to install hooks, so we should handle the case of a .notmuch
directory without an actual xapian database more gracefully.
`notmuch new' should go ahead and create the xapian database if it is
missing, even in the case where the parent .notmuch (or equivalent)
directory exists.
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.

If the user passed a path, and we opened it, then we consider that
definitive definition of "database.path". This makes libnotmuch
respond more gracefully to certain erroneous combinations of
NOTMUCH_CONFIG settings and config file contents.
This is arguably user error: having configuration file with bad
settings in it (and/or having a bad NOTMUCH_CONFIG environment
variable). On the other hand returning a different path than was
actually opened is definitely a bug.
Previously the python-cffi bindings either failed to build, or built
for the wrong module by using the installed module.
The fix requires correction the module path, building the bindings
before docs, and helping python find the built libnotmuch.

This is a bit different than n_d_{open,create}_with_config, since
there are several non-zero status codes where we do want to return a
non-NULL database structure.
This code previously relied on _finish_open to free the notmuch struct
on errors (except for the case of database == NULL, which was a
potential double free). When we removed those frees from _finish_open,
we introduced a (small) memory leak.
In this commit, fix the memory leak, and harmonize the on-error
behaviour with n_d_open_with_config.
During refactoring for 0.32, the code that set notmuch=NULL on various
errors was moved into _finish_open. This meant that the the code which
relied on that to set *database to NULL on error was no longer
correct. It also introduced a potential double free, since the notmuch
struct was deallocated inside _finish_open (via n_d_destroy).
In this commit we revert to "allocator frees", and leave any cleanup
to the caller of _finish_open. This allows us to get back the
behaviour of setting *database to NULL with a small change. Other
callers of _finish_open will need free notmuch on errors.
The documentation claims that the database will be set to NULL in this
case, but it is currently not happening. Based on a reproducer [1]
from Austin Ray.
