Wildcard matching was a feature of the probabilistic prefix, and we no

can now be searched.

The `folder:` search prefix now requires an exact match
The `folder:` prefix has been changed to search for email messages
- by the exact, case sensitive maildir or MH folder name. The new
- behaviour allows for more accurate mail folder based searches, and
- should lead to less surprising results than the old behaviour. Users
- are advised to see the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for
- details, and review how the change affects their existing `folder:`
- searches.
