Done.

I've pushed out 1 & 3 now. I can't find any use case where
--sort=unsorted is interesting for "notmuch search".

If people want to start playing with --sort=relevance then that could be
very interesting. (For me, and for almost all email searches I do, I
almost always want date-based sorting. But if I start having trouble
finding things with particular queries, I might want to play with the
relevance-based stuff.)
