It's hierarchical (the underlying allocator is talloc). So threads are
owned by the corresponding query, and messages are owned by threads.
Assuming replies refers to notmuch_message_get_replies, then those are
owned by some thread as well.
Threads are somewhat lazily constructed, so there's a time where a
message is owned by a query before it is "stolen" by a thread.
This is all Carl's design, so hopefully he'll correct me if I said
anything outrageously wrong.
