[PATCH v2] test: Test thread linking in all possible delivery orders

[Austin Clements]

These tests deliver all possible (single-root) four-message threads in
all possible orders and check that notmuch successfully links them
into threads.

There are two variants of the test: one delivers messages that
reference only their immediate parent and the other delivers messages
that reference all of their parents.  The latter test is currently
known-broken.

This is introduced as a new test (rather than just adding it to
T050-new) because it's much easier for this to start with an empty
database.

This version hopefully addresses David's comments in
id:87y4zhfmrn.fsf at maritornes.cs.unb.ca and adds a second test that
demonstrates the bug Mark in figured out in
id:8738h7kv2q.fsf at qmul.ac.uk.
