[PATCH 2/2] cli: add support for running notmuch new pre and post hooks

Run notmuch new pre and post hooks if specified in the notmuch config
file. The hooks will be run before and after incorporating new messages to
the database. Also add command line option --no-hooks to notmuch new to
bypass the hooks.
With this patch, you can add hooks in your config, for example:
[new]
prehook=offlineimap
posthook=my-tagging-script
As the value is passed to system(1), you can actually have multiple
commands, redirections, pipes, etc. in there. If the tagging is simple
enough, you can just add the tagging in-line without a script.
TODO:
* Tests.
* Documentation (manpage and help).
