Here is a more sensible commit message, given that I already did update
the notmuch-search-terms synopis

    notmuch: replace built-in help with exec of man
    
    "notmuch help" now relies on a working man installation, and a correct
    setting of MANPATH, for users that install in "unusual" places. This
    should probably noted in NEWS before shipping.
    
    There is still some small duplication of docs as the one line
    summaries are hard coded in the binary. This seems preferable to
    complicated script games, at least as long was we are using a
    presentation level markup like nroff.
