dab32dc70c lib/n_d_index_file: re-use thread-id of existing message
This prevents the message document getting multiple thread-id terms
when there are multiple files with the same message-id.

This change shifts some thread ids, requiring adjustments to other tests.

bc396c967c test: signature verification during decryption (session keys)
When the user knows the signer's key, we want "notmuch show" to be
able to verify the signature of an encrypted and signed message
regardless of whether we are using a stashed session key or not.

I wrote this test because I was surprised to see signature
verification failing when viewing some encrypted messages after
upgrading to GPGME 1.13.0-1 in debian experimental.

The added tests here all pass with GPGME 1.12.0, but the final test
fails with 1.13.0, due to some buggy updates to GPGME upstream: see
https://dev.gnupg.org/T3464 for more details.

While the bug needs to be fixed in GPGME, notmuch's test suite needs
to make sure that GMime is doing what we expect it to do; i was a bit
surprised that it hadn't caught the problem, hence this patch.

I've fixed this bug in debian experimental with gpgme 1.13.0-2, so the
tests should pass on any debian system.  I've also fixed it in the
gpgme packages (1.13.0-2~ppa1) in the ubuntu xenial PPA
(ppa:notmuch/notmuch) that notmuch uses for Travis CI.

bda0fecccd test: avoid unnecessary extraction of the test fingerprint
FINGERPRINT is already exported by add_gnupg_home, so this is
unnecessary.  This change also happens to get rid of the superfluous
check-trustdb spew from the test suite that looked like this:

gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: marginals needed: 3  completes needed: 1  trust model: pgp
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   0  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u

e1c8357c44 emacs: test notmuch-show during message decryption
We did not have a test showing what message decryption looks like
within notmuch-emacs.  This change gives us a baseline for future work
on the notmuch-emacs interface.

This differs from previous revisions of this patch in that it should
be insensitive to the order in which the local filesystem readdir()s
the underlying maildir.

aa605f7e8a cli/show: enable --decrypt=stash
Add fancy new feature, which makes "notmuch show" capable of actually
indexing messages that it just decrypted.

This enables a workflow where messages can come in in the background
and be indexed using "--decrypt=auto".  But when showing an encrypted
message for the first time, it gets automatically indexed.

This is something of a departure for "notmuch show" -- in particular,
because it requires read/write access to the database.  However, this
might be a common use case -- people get mail delivered and indexed in
the background, but only want access to their secret key to happen
when they're directly interacting with notmuch itself.

In such a scenario, they couldn't search newly-delivered, encrypted
messages, but they could search for them once they've read them.

Documentation of this new feature also uses a table form, similar to
that found in the description of index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).

A notmuch UI that wants to facilitate this workflow while also
offering an interactive search interface might instead make use of
these additional commands while the user is at the console:

Count received encrypted messages (if > 0, there are some things we
haven't yet tried to index, and therefore can't yet search):

     notmuch count tag:encrypted and \
         not property:index.decryption=success and \
         not property:index.decryption=failure

Reindex those messages:

     notmuch reindex --try-decrypt=true tag:encrypted and \
         not property:index.decryption=success and \
         not property:index.decryption=failure

8ea4a99d74 cli/show: make --decrypt take a keyword.
We also expand tab completion for it, update the emacs bindings, and
update T350, T357, and T450 to match.

Make use of the bool-to-keyword backward-compatibility feature.

fccebbaeef crypto: add --decrypt=nostash to avoid stashing session keys
Here's the configuration choice for people who want a cleartext index,
but don't want stashed session keys.

Interestingly, this "nostash" decryption policy is actually the same
policy that should be used by "notmuch show" and "notmuch reply",
since they never modify the index or database when they are invoked
with --decrypt.

We take advantage of this parallel to tune the behavior of those
programs so that we're not requesting session keys from GnuPG during
"show" and "reply" that we would then otherwise just throw away.

29648a137c crypto: actually stash session keys when decrypt=true
If you're going to store the cleartext index of an encrypted message,
in most situations you might just as well store the session key.
Doing this storage has efficiency and recoverability advantages.

Combined with a schedule of regular OpenPGP subkey rotation and
destruction, this can also offer security benefits, like "deletable
e-mail", which is the store-and-forward analog to "forward secrecy".

But wait, i hear you saying, i have a special need to store cleartext
indexes but it's really bad for me to store session keys!  Maybe
(let's imagine) i get lots of e-mails with incriminating photos
attached, and i want to be able to search for them by the text in the
e-mail, but i don't want someone with access to the index to be
actually able to see the photos themselves.

Fret not, the next patch in this series will support your wacky
uncommon use case.

6a9626a2fd cli/reindex: destroy stashed session keys when --decrypt=false
There are some situations where the user wants to get rid of the
cleartext index of a message.  For example, if they're indexing
encrypted messages normally, but suddenly they run across a message
that they really don't want any trace of in their index.

In that case, the natural thing to do is:

   notmuch reindex --decrypt=false id:whatever@example.biz

But of course, clearing the cleartext index without clearing the
stashed session key is just silly.  So we do the expected thing and
also destroy any stashed session keys while we're destroying the index
of the cleartext.

Note that stashed session keys are stored in the xapian database, but
xapian does not currently allow safe deletion (see
https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/742).

As a workaround, after removing session keys and cleartext material
from the database, the user probably should do something like "notmuch
compact" to try to purge whatever recoverable data is left in the
xapian freelist.  This problem really needs to be addressed within
xapian, though, if we want it fixed right.

076f86025d cli/new, insert, reindex: change index.decrypt to "auto" by default
The new "auto" decryption policy is not only good for "notmuch show"
and "notmuch reindex".  It's also useful for indexing messages --
there's no good reason to not try to go ahead and index the cleartext
of a message that we have a stashed session key for.

This change updates the defaults and tunes the test suite to make sure
that they have taken effect.

a1260896f6 cli/show: use decryption policy "auto" by default.
When showing a message, if the user doesn't specify --decrypt= at all,
but a stashed session key is known to notmuch, notmuch should just go
ahead and try to decrypt the message with the session key (without
bothering the user for access to their asymmetric secret key).

The user can disable this at the command line with --decrypt=false if
they really don't want to look at the e-mail that they've asked
notmuch to show them.

and of course, "notmuch show --decrypt" still works for accessing the
user's secret keys if necessary.

6802b333eb cli/reply: use decryption policy "auto" by default.
If the user doesn't specify --decrypt= at all, but a stashed session
key is known to notmuch, when replying to an encrypted message,
notmuch should just go ahead and decrypt.

The user can disable this at the command line with --decrypt=false,
though it's not clear why they would ever want to do that.

d3964e81ac indexing: Change from try_decrypt to decrypt
the command-line interface for indexing (reindex, new, insert) used
--try-decrypt; and the configuration records used index.try_decrypt.
But by comparison with "show" and "reply", there doesn't seem to be
any reason for the "try" prefix.

This changeset adjusts the command-line interface and the
configuration interface.

For the moment, i've left indexopts_{set,get}_try_decrypt alone.  The
subsequent changeset will address those.

9d23ebfcc3 test: session keys are known broken without session key support
If the version of GMime we're building against doesn't support session
key extraction or re-use, mark the tests that rely on session key
capabilities as known-broken.

This should resolve test suite failures on ubuntu trusty and debian
jessie and earlier, which have GMime 2.6.20 -- session key support was
introduced in GMime 2.6.21.

6d7249fec9 crypto: Test restore of cleartext index from stashed session keys
If you've got a notmuch dump that includes stashed session keys for
every decrypted message, and you've got your message archive, you
should be able to get back to the same index that you had before.

Here we add a simple test that give some flavor of how that works.

8116891744 cli/reindex: add --try-decrypt=(true|false)
Enable override of the index.try_decrypt setting on a per-run basis
when invoking "notmuch reindex".  This allows the possibility of (for
example) an emacs keybinding that adds the cleartext of the currently
shown decrypted message to the index, making it searchable in the
future.

It also enables one-time indexing of all messages matching some query,
like so:

    notmuch reindex tag:encrypted and\
       not property:index.decryption=success and\
       from:alice@example.org

We also update the documentation and tab completion, and add a few
more tests.
