[PATCH 2/2] notmuch-restore: handle empty input file, leading blank lines and comments.

[david@tethera.net]

From: David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>

This patch corrects several undesirable behaviours:

1) Empty files were not detected, leading to buffer read overrun.

2) An initial blank line cause restore to silently abort

3) Initial comment line caused format detection to fail
