    lib: drop support for single-message mbox files

The intention was to drop support for indexing new single-message mbox
files (and whether that was a good idea in the first place is
arguable). However this inadvertently broke support for reading
headers from previously indexed single-message mbox files, which is
far worse.

Distinguishing between the two cases would require more code than
simply bringing back support for single-message mbox files.
