This replaces the series [1].  Changes since that series:

1) Use a more direct approach to mark tests as broken. 
   - The drops the first patch of [1].
   - Fix the splitting of arguments to test_begin_subtest

2) Fix a whitespace error in notmuch.rst

3) Move the 'return' into the proper patch

With these changes, patches 1-4 could be split to their own series if
needed, and the last 3 would make sense for a point release.

No functional change, just reindent to Emacs defaults.

A common bug in tests is that the code used to generate the EXPECTED
file fails, generating no output. When the code generating the OUTPUT
file fails in the same way, the test passes, even though there is a
failure being hidden. Add a new test function that guards against
this.

This is more robust against crashes when the expected output is also
generated by notmuch. In the case where the expected output is
explicit, it seems like overkill.

This highlights a bug reported by several users, including
Mohsin Kaleem [1].

The use of test_begin_subtest is because these tests pass even though
the database cannot be located.
