man.1: A big update of the notmuch manual page.

I set out merely to add documentation for the recently-added options
for "notmuch search" (--first, --max-threads, and --sort), but ended
up revamping a lot. A significant change is a new SEARCH SYNTAX
section separate from "notmuch search" that is referred to in the
documentation of search, show, reply, and tag.

Also many sections were updated to reflect recent changes, (such as
the dropping of the NOTMUCH_BASE environment variable, the addition of
the .notmuch-config file, etc.)

notmuch search: Change default search order to be newest messages first.

This is what most people want for a _search_ command. It's often
different for actually reading mail in an inbox, (where it makes more
sense to have results displayed in chronological order), but in such a
case, ther user is likely using an interface that can simply pass the
--sort=oldest-first option to "notmuch search".

Here we're also change the sort enum from NOTMUCH_SORT_DATE and
NOTMUCH_SORT_DATE_REVERSE to NOTMUCH_SORT_OLDEST_FIRST and
NOTMUCH_SORT_NEWEST_FIRST. Similarly we replace the --reverse option
to "notmuch search" with two options: --sort=oldest-first and
--sort=newest-first.

out of file descriptors.

The original rule we were using came from the GNU Makefile manual, but
only handled files in the current directory, not file in
sub-directories as we use here with our non-recursive Makefile.

So the .deps files being created were being put in the right place,
(such as .deps/lib/database.d), but the compiler was generating a
dependency for "database.o" rather than "lib/database.o" like we
want. We were already trying to do a sed job on that name to add a
dependency for the .d file as well. But the sed job was failing since

than the back-reference).

Keith wrote all the code here against notmuch before notmuch.c was
split up into multiple files. So I've pushed the code around in
various ways to match the new code structure, but have generally tried
to avoid making any changes to the behavior of the code.

I did fix one bug---a missing call to g_mime_stream_file_set_owner in
show_part which would cause "notmuch show" to go off into the weeds
when trying to show multiple messages, (since the first stream would
fclose stdout).

notmuch: Break notmuch.c up into several smaller files.

Now that the client sources are alone here in their own directory,
(with all the library sources down inside the lib directory), we can
break the client up into multiple files without mixing the files up.
The hope is that these smaller files will be easier to manage and
maintain.

We were previously using separate CFLAGS and NOTMUCH_CFLAGS variables

an override to append the things we require. So our Makefile is much
neater now.

Makefile: Fix dependency generation to make .d files themselves dependent.

I saw this recommendation in the implementation notes for "Recursive
Make Considered Harmful" and then the further recommendation for
implementing the idea in the GNU make manual.

The idea is that if any of the files change then we need to regenerate
the dependency file before we regenerate any targets.

The approach from the GNU make manual is simpler in that it just uses
a sed script to fix up the output of an extra invocation of the
compiler, (as opposed to the approach in the implementation notes from
the paper's author which use a wrapper script for the compiler that's
always invoked rather than the compiler itself).

Implement a non-recursive make.

The idea here is that every Makefile at each lower level will be an
identical, tiny file that simply defers to a top-level make.

Meanwhile, the Makefile.local file at each level is a Makefile snippet
to be included at the top-level into a large, flat Makefile. As such,
it needs to define its rules with the entire relative directory to
each file, (typically in $(dir)). The local files can also append to
variables such as SRCS and CLEAN for files to be analyzed for
dependencies and to be cleaned.

notmuch.el: Don't advance line in search buffer before showing thread.

Previously, when selecting a thread to view from the search buffer, we
would advance the point by one line before showing the thread, (so
that it would be ready to show the next thread once the user was done

exited the thread view, (because the "wrong" thread was then selected
