098ef4af4d perf-test: initial version of memory test infrastructure.
The idea is run some code under valgrind --leak-check=full and report
a summary, leaving the user to peruse the log file if they want.

We go to some lengths to preserve the log files from accidental
overwriting; the full corpus takes about 3 hours to run under valgrind
on my machine.

The naming of the log directories may be slightly controversial; in
the unlikely event of two runs in less than a second, the log will be
overwritten. A previous version with mktemp+timestamp was dismissed as
overkill; just mktemp alone does not sort nicely.

One new test is included, to check notmuch new for memory leaks.

ceaf5ca6c0 perf-test: add caching of xapian database
The caching and uncaching seem to be necessarily manual, as timing the
initial notmuch new is one of our goals with this suite.

74a883562b perf-test: cache unpacked corpus
Unpacking is not really the expensive step (compared to the initial
notmuch new), but this is a pre-requisite to caching the database.

7beeb8c88a test: initial performance testing infrastructure
This is not near as fancy as as the unit tests, on the theory that
the code should typically be crashing when performance tuning.
Nonetheless, there is plenty of room for improvement.  Several more of
the pieces of the test infrastructure (e.g. the option parsing) could
be factored out into test/test-lib-common.sh
