[PATCH] test: known broken test for top level .notmuch in split configs

[David Bremner]

In split configurations there is no special significance to a top
level directory called .notmuch in the mail root. Users should
therefore be able to have mail stored underneath it.
---

My only worry was residual .notmuch directories after people switch
from legacy layout to split, but I tested by copying .notmuch to
.foobar and running notmuch new. It cleverly deduced that none of the
xapian database files were mail files, so this seems fine to me.
