[PATCH 1/2] lib: Expose query debug output via an environment variable

Austin Clements amdragon at MIT.EDU

Allow query debugging to be enabled at run-time by setting the
NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY environment variable to a non-empty string.

Previously, enabling query debugging required recompiling, but parsed
queries are often useful for tracking down bugs in situations where
recompiling is inconvenient.
