[PATCH v2 03/20] cli: add stub for insert command

The notmuch insert command should read a message from standard input
and deliver it to a Maildir folder, and then incorporate the message
into the notmuch database.  Essentially it moves the functionality of
notmuch-deliver into notmuch.

Though it could be used as an alternative to notmuch new, the reason
I want this is to allow my notmuch frontend to add postponed or sent
messages to the mail store and notmuch database, without resorting to
another tool (e.g. notmuch-deliver) nor directly modifying the maildir.
