[PATCH] test:Folder tags shouldn't match after removal of file in given folder

Test for bug.  Current stemming support for notmuch adds extra terms
to the DB which aren't removed when the file renames are detected.

When folder tags are added to a message, Xapian terms for both XFOLDER
and ZXFOLDER are generated.  When one of the filenames are
renamed/removed, only the XFOLDER tags are removed, leaving it possible
for a match on a folder: tag that was previously but is no longer a
match in the maildir.
---

I found this bug last week.  Essentially when the folder:spam tag is
added and puts the XFOLDERspam, it also inserts the ZXFOLDERspam.  Then
if the mail is removed from the folder, it neglects to remove
ZXFOLDERspam.

This was detected with my offlineimap usage with gmail, still haven't
polished my personal folder/label transition.  As I was looking into it,
I saw some unusual things flagged as spam, and investigated.
