[PATCH v6 05/14] properties: add notmuch_message_remove_all_properties_with_prefix()

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>]

Subsequent patches will introduce a convention that properties whose
name starts with "index." will be stripped (and possibly re-added)
during re-indexing.  This patch lays the groundwork for doing that.
