Same thing about not calling this explicitly.

Could we instead omit this argument and construct the recipients list
when notmuch_thread_get_recipients is called for the first time?  That
makes things a little harder here, because you'll have to keep a list
of messages in the order they were added and scan it on demand (and
use the matched flag), but it will avoid the public API major version
bump as well as generally minimizing interface complexity.  Also, I
think that list will prove valuable for other things in the future,
since currently there's no way to iterate over the messages in a
thread in date order; the best you can do is recursive walk the thread
structure.  Conveniently, we already have a message list abstraction.
