[PATCH] notmuch-restore.c: only update tags for messages that differ from dump file.

[david@tethera.net]

From: David Bremner <bremner@unb.ca>

The main feature of this patch is that it compares the list of current
tags on a message with those read by restore. Only if the two lists
differ is the tag list in the message replaced.  In my experiments this leads to
a large performance improvement.

Since I had to rewrite the parsing of tags from the dump file anyway
to keep a list of tags (in case they should be written to the
database), I decided to make it a bit more robust. It sorts the
incoming tags (it is critical for the comparison of the two tag lists
that they are both sorted), and allows arbitrary whitespace (as
determined by "isspace") between tags.

The patch allocates a temporary array to keep track of the current
list of tags using calloc and grows it as neccesary using realloc.
