v2 support flexible database location

v2 support flexible database location

[David Bremner]

This obsoletes [1]. It is mainly a rebase against master, but also
adds one test (see below).  I have been running this code in
production for a few weeks now, although without using any of the
fancy new features.

[PATCH 01/22] test/setup: add check for config exists, but no database.

[David Bremner]

This code path is not currently tested, and will need updating if the
location of the xapian database changes.

[PATCH 02/22] lib: publish API for notmuch_database_reopen

[David Bremner]

Include the (currently unused) mode argument which will specify which
mode to re-open the database in. Functionality and docs to be
finalized in a followup commit.

This will allow re-opening in a different mode (read/write

[PATCH 05/22] CLI/show: complete conversion to new configuration framework.

In order to open the database in main() for this command, we may need
to re-open it in the (possibly less common) case where crypto options
require it.

[PATCH 11/22] lib/open: factor out the second half of n_d_open_with_config

[David Bremner]

The idea is to allow reuse in n_d_create_with_config. This is
primarily code movement, with some changes in error messages to reduce
the number of input parameters.

[PATCH 14/22] support splitting mail from database location.

[David Bremner]

Introduce a new configuration value for the mail root, and use it in
preference to the database.path (which previously implied the mail was
also in this location.

Further changes to the CLI will be needed to work in this split
configuration.

[PATCH 16/22] CLI/new: support split database and mail location

[David Bremner]

This adds new state variable for the mail root, and uses it most
places db_path was used. The notable exception is dumps from backups.

[PATCH 17/22] lib/open: support XDG_DATA_HOME as a fallback database location.

[David Bremner]

This changes some error reporting, either intentionally by reporting
the highest level missing directory, or by side effect from looking in
XDG locations when given null database location.

[PATCH 18/22] CLI/insert: support split database and mail root

The new test is in T055-path-config because it uses the helper
function split_config, and because it seems easier to follow the
database path related tests in one place.

[David Bremner]

Like the hook directory, we primarily need a way to communicate this
directory between various components, but we may as well let the user
configure it.

[PATCH 22/22] CLI/new: use configuration variable for backup directory

[David Bremner]

The stat is dropped to avoid a race condition between stat and mkdir.
This changes the default location for backups to make things
tidier. Hopefully there is not user scripts relying on this location.

v3 support flexible database location

[David Bremner]

This series obsoletes [0], although it does not contain any functional
changes since that series.

It is rebased against memory leak [1] and style [2] fixes. It also
contains several style fixes of its own, which hopefully makes it less
time consuming to review.

[PATCH 13/22] lib/open: Use check for existing database by trial opening

[David Bremner]

This is a bit heavyweight for now, but it will make more sense when we
check multiple locations for the xapian database.

v4 flexible path location

[David Bremner]

Since v3 [1]

- rebase against the uncrustified version (unfortunately this makes an
  interdiff too noisy to be helpful).
- improve (?) the documentation of database.mail_root in notmuch-config(1).
- tweak commit messages
- move the call to _init_libs from [10/22] to [9/22]

I'm going to mark this version as ready to apply, so object now, or
grumble later.
