[PATCH 0/2] cli: Parsing. Add option NOTMUCH_OPT_INT_OR_BOOLEAN

The first patch adds a new command line parsing option
NOTMUCH_OPT_INT_OR_BOOLEAN for command line parsing which accepts
--verbose=3 and --verbose with the latter setting verbose to 1. It
also allows --verbose=0 so (with a little caller support) the user can
turn off boolean options.

It also means that extra options can be added to the command line
programs in a backwards compatible manner (e.g. if --verbose already
exists we could add --verbose=2).

The second patch uses this to make the --entire-thread option to
notmuch-show a NOTMUCH_OPT_INT_OR_BOOLEAN. In particular this allows
the caller to disable --entire-thread (with --entire-thread=0) when
format=json.

Best wishes

Mark
