[PATCH v2 11/16] add --try-decrypt to notmuch insert

allow an incoming message to be delivered while indexing the
cleartext.

This requires the secret keys for the message to be available.  For
the moment, the most functional approach is to ensure that gpg-agent
is running and knows about any secret keys that might be useful to
decrypt incoming mail.

Any additional recommendations for how to phrase the caveat for this
option are welcome.

If ~/.notmuch-config contains crypto.gpg_path, and gpg is needed for
indexing, the configuration option will be used to find gpg.
