[PATCH v5 1/2] lib: drop support for single-message mbox files

Jani Nikula jani at nikula.org

We've supported mbox files containing a single message for historical
reasons, but the support has been deprecated, with a warning message
while indexing, since Notmuch 0.15. Finally drop the support, and
consider all mbox files non-email.
