[PATCH 06/10] lib: Add API's to find by filename and remove a filename from a message.

The two new API functions, notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename
and notmuch_message_remove_filename give library users more control
over the filename removal process. notmuch_database_remove_message
has been reimplemented in terms of these new functions.
notmuch_message_remove_filename acts much like
notmuch_message_remove_tag in that it does not synchronize with the
database if the message is frozen. Thus, callers can freeze a message
to remove a filename and perform tag synchronization in one atomic
operation.
This new approach also naturally eliminates an atomicity violation in
the old code. Previously, notmuch_database_remove_message would first
update the database document to remove the filename and only then
remove the document if it had no more filenames left. An interruption
between these two steps resulted in a permanently un-removable zombie
message that would produce errors and odd results in searches. Since
this new approach delegates document deletion to
_notmuch_message_sync, the document will be deleted without first
being updated, eliminating this window.
