This addresses a bug report / feature request of Uwe Kleine-König. The
assumption is that we always load a config file in the CLI (i.e. we
never pass "" as the config file argument to
notmuch_database_open_with_config).

Setting this according to --config was requested by Uwe
Kleine-König. There are some other ways that the configuration file
might be found in current notmuch, so check those as well.
As a bonus, fix a bug in the hook tests that left NOTMUCH_CONFIG set
even though a config file was provided via NOTMUCH_PROFILE.

Commits or checkouts that modify a large fraction of the messages in
the database should be relatively rare (and in some automated process,
probably non-existent). For initial setup, where such operations are
expected, the user can pass --force.
This is probably more convenient than always passing a command line
argument.
Use notmuch-config for consistency with other notmuch CLI tools.
Now that there is something relevant in the config files, test the
--config option.
The previous defaults were not suitable for personal (i.e. not
bugtracking for notmuch development) use.
Provide two ways for the user to select nmbug compatible defaults;
command line argument and checking the name of the script.
If the private index file matches a previously known revision of the
database, we can update the index incrementally using the recorded
lastmod counter. This is typically much faster than a full update,
although it could be slower in the case of large changes to the
database.
The "git-read-tree HEAD" is also a bottleneck, but unfortunately
sometimes is needed. Cache the index checksum and hash to reduce the
number of times the operation is run. The overall design is a
simplified version of the PrivateIndex class.
Perf will show which binaries are using the CPU cycles, and standard
python profilers will show which python functions, but neither is
great at finding which call to an external binary is taking time, or
locating I/O hotspots.
Unlike the (current) infix query parser provided by Xapian, the
notmuch specific sexp query parser supports prefixed wildcard queries,
so use those. In addition to being somewhat faster, this avoids
needing to escape all of the user's tags to pass via the shell.
Although the code required to support both new and old environment
variables is small, it complicates the semantics of configuration, and
make the documentation harder to follow.
For folks that want to start versioning a new tag-space, instead of
cloning one that someone else has already started.
The empty-blob hash-object call avoids errors like:
$ nmbug commit
error: invalid object 100644 e69de29bb2 for
'tags/...'
fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees
'git HASH(0x9ef3eb8) write-tree' exited with nonzero value
David Bremner suggested [1]:
$ git hash-object -w /dev/null
instead of my Python version of:
$ git hash-object -w --stdin <&-
but I expect that closing stdin is more portable than the /dev/null
path (which doesn't exist on Windows, for example).
The --bare init and use of NMBGIT as the work tree (what could go
wrong with an empty commit?) are suggestions from Michal Sojka [2].

Debian stable had python 3.4.2 3 releases ago (approximately 6 years
ago), so attempting to keep track of the changes in python is probably
no longer worthwhile. We already require python 3.5 for the
python-cffi bindings (although those are not yet used in notmuch-git).
Having notmuch-show-next-thread return non-nil on success and nil on
failure makes it easier for users to interact with notmuch via elisp.
This commit changes notmuch-search-show-thread too since the return
value of notmuch-show-next-thread depends on notmuch-search-show-thread.
Amended by db: fix whitespace in T450-emacs-show
Move point to the position that makes the most sense instead of always
moving point to the TO. This is useful when TO/SUBJECT are passed as
argument.
Amended by db: move news item to UNRELEASED.
If a string value is assigned to notmuch-show-header-line, it's used
as a format string to be passed passed to format-spec with `%s`
substituted by the message's subject. If a function is given, it's
called with the subject as argument, and its return value used as
header line.
As before, t means displaying the subject and nil not using any header
line.

Amended-by: db, docstring spelling fix
This is a bit more involved than replacing the use of
notmuch_database_open_verbose, as we have to effectively inline the
definition of notmuch_database_open.
The actual content type of `application/octet-stream` is up to content
type detection of the reader, and thus may not be stable across
implementations or versions. This showed up when
fd46fc19 ("emacs: document/defcustom notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged", 2022-05-14)
introduced a test for omitting a part of type `text/html` because it
expected a part of type `application/octet-stream` to remain in place,
i.e. a part of "unstable type". In particular, tests with `fd46fc19`
would succeed on RHEL/EPEL but fail on all current Fedoras with

Fix this by giving that message a specicific type of `text/x-diff` in

Amended-by: db, fix some trailing whitespace
This variable is important for people who want to change the default
behaviour when displaying multipart/alternative messages. Previously
it was undocumented. Add a defcustom to help users and copy some
documentation from the wiki. The usual machinery of re-using
docstrings is a bit tricky to use here because it mangles the example
lisp code, and the link to the info node should not be in e.g. the
html page.
Add a simple test to make sure the switch from defvar to defcustom did
not break something obvious.
The intended use case of this new function is to make reply behaviour
track that of show with respect to attachments.
Also fix the glob (which worked by fluke) into the documented regexp.
