ff4e81ac57 doc: cross-reference notmuch man pages with actual links
Add internal hyperlink targets for man pages and cross-reference them
using the any role reference. There are a number of alternatives to
accomplish this, but this seems like the combination that retains the
man page section number and the same boldface style in the man pages.

As a bonus, we get sanity checking on the links; for example
notmuch-search-terms.rst had a reference to notmuch-properties(1)
i.e. the wrong section.

The obvious semantic follow-up change would be to only have meaningful
"see also" references instead of having them all everywhere.

3baa61e0e5 doc: use manpage role references to external man pages
Using manpage role references generates helpful links in html
documentation, while retaining the same boldface style in the man
pages.

The external man page site is configurable. The Debian manpage site
seems like a good fit for Notmuch.

e5e252de55 doc: unify definition list usage across man pages
Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition
lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation
from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and
definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation.

This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.

6575b7eb31 doc: add notmuch-properties(7)
We will want a user-facing place to record details about the use of
notmuch properties shortly.  This establishes a new manual page for
that purpose.

6499fce391 doc: make SEE ALSO references one-per-line
This will make future diffs cleaner, make it easier to keep them
alphabetical, and make it easier to scan and search the documentation
sources.

ef763a9e8b doc: whitespace cleanup
In most part, our .rst documents are indented with 8 spaces instead
of tabs. Bring the rest of the lines to the same format.
Also, on one (supposedly empty) line, trailing spaces were removed.

651da30c09 cli: optionally restore message properties from dump file
This somewhat mimics the config line parsing, except there can be
arbitrarily many key value pairs, so one more level of looping is
required.

c6fcc555dd CLI: optionally restore config data.
The default to restore config data seems safest, especially since
currently we have no config data to mess up.

4c62d9366a restore: transparently support gzipped input
We rely completely on zlib to do the right thing in detecting gzipped
input. Since our dump format is chosen to be 7 bit ascii, this should
be fine.

d736260385 doc: convert sphinx based docs
This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with
our existing man pages converted to rst.

A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable
for end user use yet.
