ed7ca948ae build/docs: move docstring prereq to file targets
Under a sufficiently high level of parallelism [1] there seems to be a
a race condition that allows sphinx-build to start running before the
docstrings are extracted. This change moves the docstring stamp from
the phony targets sphinx-html and sphinx-info to the file targets that
they depend on. I'm not sure why this makes things better, but I am
fairly confident it does not make things worse, and experimentally it
seems to eliminate the race condition.

981d5a0168 Rename version to version.txt
Building Notmuch on macOS is known to cause problems because the Notmuch
distribution archive contains two files named "version". These names
clash with the <version> header as defined in C++20. Therefore, the
existing naming will likely become a problem on other platforms as well,
once compilers adopt the new standard.

c454135376 emacs: Use makefile-gmake-mode in Makefile*s
Use `makefile-gmake-mode' instead of `makefile-mode' because the
former also highlights ifdef et al. while the latter does not.

"./Makefile.global" and one "Makefile.local" failed to specify any
major mode at all but doing so is necessary because Emacs does not
automatically figure out that these are Makefiles (of any flavor).

0e03e2d45e doc: replace use of environment variables with a generated config
It is getting unwieldy to pass configuration options on the
sphinx-build command line, and I anticipate further use of
conditionals.

As far as I could tell, execing a string is the idiomatic way to
emulate include in Python.

a962842d9b doc: make gzipped man pages reproducible
gzip includes the name of the uncompressed file and its modification
timestamp into the compressed archive. The latter makes it hard to
reproduce the generated files bit for bit at a later time, so omit this
information from the archive using the "--no-name" option. This is a
reproducibility best practice, see

507d2f07a6 doc: field processor support now always included, adjust manual pages
The features that require field processor support, are now just
documented w/o mentioning **Xapian Field Processors**' is needed
for those.

Replaced "compact" and "field_processor" with "retry_lock" in
build_with config option, as it is currently the only one that
is optionally excluded. The former 2 are now documented as
features always included.

Dropped one 'we' "passive" in notmuch-search-terms.rst. It was the
only one, and inconsistent with rest of the documentation in that
file.

Dropped message about conditional open-ended ranges support, as
those are now always supported.

ee8dba1c30 doc: fix for out-of-tree builds of notmuch-emacs docs
The sphinx-doc include directive does not have the ability to include
files from the build tree, so we replace the include with reading the
files in conf.py. The non-trivial downside of this is that the emacs
docstrings are now defined for every rst source file. They are
namespaced with docstring::, so hopefully there will not be any
surprises. One thing that is noticable is a small (absolute) time
penalty in running sphinx-doc.

02a2bf1b25 notmuch(1): clarify documentation about --option/value separators
id:CA+Tk8fzRiqxWpd=r8=DRvEewNZXUZgD7MKyRLB1A=R-LxxGEZw@mail.gmail.com
started a thread of discussion that showed that the cli's current
idiosyncrasies around dealing with boolean options were not
understandable.

This attempts to improve the documentation at least (actual changes to
the API might be better, but have not reached consensus).

Note that no one in the discussion thread identified any other
(non-boolean) command-line options that cannot use space as a
separator.  If such an option is identified (or introduced in the
future), it should be added explicitly to this part of the manual.

bd0b5abd5d doc: Drop obsolete MSCGEN_PATH, PERL_PATH from doxygen configuration
Since doxygen 1.8.16, MSCGEN_PATH and PERL_PATH are obsolete:

MSCGEN_PATH:
  873e0ccfbe
PERL_PATH:
  6d1535c38f

I don't think that the notmuch builds ever depended on them in the
first place, and including them in the default config yields the
following two warnings:

```
doxygen ./doc/doxygen.cfg
warning: Tag 'PERL_PATH' at line 267 of file './doc/doxygen.cfg' has become obsolete.
         To avoid this warning please remove this line from your configuration file or upgrade it using "doxygen -u"
warning: Tag 'MSCGEN_PATH' at line 272 of file './doc/doxygen.cfg' has become obsolete.
         To avoid this warning please remove this line from your configuration file or upgrade it using "doxygen -u"
```

Remove them to avoid the warnings.

018ad3703b Drop deprecated/unused crypto.gpg_path
crypto.gpg_path was only used when we built against gmime versions
before 3.0.  Since we now depend on gmime 3.0.3 or later, it is
meaningless.

The removal of the field from the _notmuch_config struct would be an
ABI change if that struct were externally exposed, but it is not, so
it's safe to unilaterally remove it.

aba7fb375b doc: clean up manpage description of "notmuch-config list" output
The escaping in the description of the output of "notmuch-config list"
appears to have been inherited from some previous attempts at
documentation.  It leaked out in the actual generated manpage
documentation, where it looks like this:

       list   Every  configuration  item is printed to stdout, each on a
              separate line of the form:

                 *section*.\ *item*\ =\ *value*

This simplification cleans up the overescaping.

4b1a8fd183 index: repair "Mixed Up" messages before indexing.
When encountering a message that has been mangled in the "mixed up"
way by an intermediate MTA, notmuch should instead repair it and index
the repaired form.

When it does this, it also associates the index.repaired=mixedup
property with the message.  If a problem is found with this repair
process, or an improved repair process is proposed later, this should
make it easy for people to reindex the relevant message.  The property
will also hopefully make it easier to diagnose this particular problem
in the future.

9829533e92 index: avoid indexing legacy-display parts
When we notice a legacy-display part during indexing, it makes more
sense to avoid indexing it as part of the message body.

Given that the protected subject will already be indexed, there is no
need to index this part at all, so we skip over it.

If this happens during indexing, we set a property on the message:
index.repaired=skip-protected-headers-legacy-display

a6a8df7e03 build: drop variable HAVE_EMACS. use WITH_EMACS instead
The extra flexibility of having both HAVE_EMACS (for yes, there is an
emacs we can use) and WITH_EMACS (the user wants emacs support) lead
to confusion and bugs. We now just force WITH_EMACS to 0 if no
suitable emacs is detected.

3ec47e1165 doc: Don't install emacs docs when they are not built
In 40b025 we stopped building the notmuch-emacs documentation if
HAVE_EMACS=0 (i.e. no emacs was detected by configure). Unfortunately
we continued to try to install the (non-existent) documentation, which
causes build/install failures.

As a bonus, we also avoid installing the documentation if the user
configures --without-emacs.

Thanks to Ralph Seichter for reporting the problem, and testing
previous versions of this fix.

71bf459596 doc: don't build notmuch-emacs.info for configure --without-emacs
Since the docstrings are not built in the case of --without-emacs,
even if emacs is detected, don't let sphinx build the emacs docs. This
avoids a large number of error messages due to missing includes. It's
actually a bit surprising sphinx doesn't generate an error for the
missing include files.

6edc073e44 doc: use separate doctrees for distinct builders
It seems our previous attempt with order-only targets was not
sufficient to avoid problems with sphinx-builds doctree cache [0].
Looking around at other people's approaches [1], using separate
doctrees was suggested. I guess there might be a slight loss of
efficiency, but it seems more robust.

[0]: build failures were first noticed in Debian experimental, but I was able to duplicate it in
     my usual build environment about 1 in 8 builds.

319dd95ebb lib: add 'body:' field, stop indexing headers twice.
The new `body:` field (in Xapian terms) or prefix (in slightly
sloppier notmuch) terms allows matching terms that occur only in the
body.

Unprefixed query terms should continue to match anywhere (header or
body) in the message.

This follows a suggestion of Olly Betts to use the facility (since
Xapian 1.0.4) to add the same field with multiple prefixes. The double
indexing of previous versions is thus replaced with a query time
expension of unprefixed query terms to the various prefixed
equivalent.

Reindexing will be needed for 'body:' searches to work correctly;
otherwise they will also match messages where the term occur in
headers (demonstrated by the new tests in T530-upgrade.sh)

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
