List archive

I have restarted the generation of a list archive at

  https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/archive/notmuch-list.tar.xz

As you can tell from the name, it's not an mbox anymore, but an archive
of a Maildir.

I have updated the links I found in the wiki.  Let me know if I missed a
link or if there are problems retrieving it.

Currently it is regenerated once per day.

The old .mbox was convenient, as one could just fetch the ones not
downloaded already (like I used to have:
  wget --continue https://notmuchmail.org/archives/notmuch.mbox
)

Now it looks like one has to re-download the whole archive every time...

(perhaps that is tolerable, like everything else -- probably no-one
 else than me used the --continue and the rate of downloads
 is probably pretty small)

... Downloaded current (25 683 788 bytes in size). Some notes :D

1) files not sorted. if using modern GNU tar, --sort=name would be nice.

2) some files in notmuch-list/new/, some in notmuch-list/cur/. kinda ugly ;/
   (some --xform perhaps to unify?)

Thank you for making the archive avalable (in published location).

I mentioned this on IRC, but for the record, month-by-month archives (or
even file by file) is available at

     https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/archive/notmuch-list/
