[PATCH 1/2] notmuch-mutt: use notmuch --duplicate flag

[Kevin McCarthy]

Change notmuch-mutt to use the new --duplicate=1 flag for duplicate
removal.  This will remove duplicates based on message-id at the
notmuch level.  Previously we were using fdupes or generating sha sums
after the search.

This version will be faster, but will enable the possibility of hiding
search results due to accidental/malicious duplicate message-ids.
