[PATCH v5 3/6] util: Function to parse boolean term queries

[Austin Clements]

This parses the subset of Xapian's boolean term quoting rules that are
used by make_boolean_term.  This is provided as a generic string
utility, but will be used shortly in notmuch restore to parse and
optimize for ID queries.
