[PATCH 1/5] util: Factor out boolean term quoting routine

From: Austin Clements <amdragon at MIT.EDU>

This is now a generic boolean term quoting function.  It performs
minimal quoting to produce user-friendly queries.

This could live in tag-util as well, but it is really nothing specific
to tags (although the conventions are specific to Xapian).

The API is changed from "caller-allocates" to "readline-like".  The
scan for max tag length is pushed down into the quoting routine.
Furthermore, this now combines the term prefix with the quoted term;
arguably this is just as easy to do in the caller, but this will
nicely parallel the boolean term parsing function to be introduced
shortly.

This is an amalgamation of code written by David Bremner and myself.
