b7b553e732 cli/reply: ensure encrypted Subject: line does not leak in the clear
Now that we can decrypt headers, we want to make sure that clients
using "notmuch reply" to prepare a reply don't leak cleartext in their
subject lines.  In particular, the ["reply-headers"]["Subject"] should
by default show the external Subject.

A replying MUA that intends to protect the Subject line should show
the user the Subject from ["original"]["headers"]["Subject"] instead
of using ["reply-headers"]["Subject"].

This minor asymmetry with "notmuch show" is intentional.  While both
tools always render the cleartext subject line when they know it (in
["headers"]["Subject"] for "notmuch show" and in
["original"]["headers"]["Subject"] for "notmuch reply"), "notmuch
reply" should never leak something that should stay under encrypted
cover in "reply-headers".

Adding another test to ensure that we handle protected headers
gracefully when no external subject is present.

56416a5470 cli/show: add information about which headers were protected
The header-mask member of the per-message crypto object allows a
clever UI frontend to mark whether a header was protected (or not).
And if it was protected, it contains enough information to show useful
detail to an interested user.  For example, an MUA could offer a "show
what this message's Subject looked like on the wire" feature in expert
mode.

As before, we only handle Subject for now, but we might be able to
handle other headers in the future.

Amended by db: tweaked schemata notation.

528f526f69 cli/show: add tests for viewing protected headers
Here we add several variant e-mail messages, some of which have
correctly-structured protected headers, and some of which do not.  The
goal of the tests is to ensure that the right protected subjects get
reported.
