[PATCH 1/4] command-line-arguments.[ch]: new argument parsing framework for notmuch.

From: David Bremner <bremner at debian.org>
As we noticed when Jani kindly converted things to getopt_long, much
of the work in argument parsing in notmuch is due to the the key-value
style arguments like --format=(raw|json|text).
The framework here provides positional arguments, simple switches,
and --key=value style arguments that can take a value being an integer,
a string, or one of a set of keywords.
