[PATCH 0/3] Introduce the add command

Hi everyone,

The recent introduction of insert inspired me to finally add a feature I've
been wanting: a command to index a specific file in the maildir. My usecase
for this is that I have an inotify-based script that watches for new mail
and calls notmuch new when new mail shows up. Running notmuch new in this
situation is overkill, since I know exactly what's changed. A faster command
that just adds a single file reduces contention on the database lock.

This series introduces a new command, "notmuch add", which indexes a file
that already exists in the maildir. It is implemented in notmuch-insert.c
because it uses the basic infrastructure introduced for the insert command.

Missing man page for now - wanted to get the code out first for review.
