lib/message: move xapian call inside try/catch block in _n_m_delete

The call to delete_document can throw exceptions (and can happen in
practice [1]), so catch the exception and extract the error
message. As a side effect, also move the call to _n_m_has_term inside
the try/catch. This should not change anything as that function
already traps any Xapian exceptions.

glossary
--------
Commit objects reference one tree, and zero or more parents.

Single parent commits can typically generate a patch in
unified diff format via `git format-patch'.

Multiple parents means the commit is a merge.

Root commits have no ancestor.  Note that it is
possible to have multiple root commits when merging independent histories.

Every commit references one top-level tree object.
