This replaces two instances of Xapian::Query::MatchAll with the
equivalent but thread-safe alternative Xapian::Query(std::string()).
Xapian::Query::MatchAll maintains an internal pointer to a refcounted
Xapian::Internal::QueryTerm.
None of this is thread-safe but that wouldn't be an issue if
Xapian::Query::MatchAll wasn't static. Because it's static, the
refcounting goes awry when Notmuch is called from multiple threads.
This is actually documented by Xapian:
4715de3a9f/xapian-core/include/xapian/query.h (L65)
While static, Xapian::Query::MatchNothing is safe because it doesn't
maintain an internal object and as such, doesn't use references.
Two best-effort tests making use of TSan were added to showcase the
issue (I couldn't figure out a way to deterministically reproduce it
without making an unmaintainable mess).
First, when two databases are created in parallel, a query that uses
Xapian::Query::MatchAll is made (lib/query.cc), resulting in the
following backtrace on a segfault:

Second, some queries would make use of Xapian::Query::MatchAll
(lib/regexp-fields.cc), resulting in the following backtrace on a
segfault:

Printing Xapian::Query::MatchAll->internal.px->_refs in these
circumstances can help quickly identifying this scenario.
This is motivated by some test frameworks (like Rust's Cargo) that
runs unit tests in parallel and would easily encounter this issue,
unless client code gates every call to Notmuch behind a lock.
This is what can be expected from the tests when they fail:
