[PATCH] add has: query prefix to search for specific properties

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:

   notmuch count has:foo=bar

which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".

This patch could be improved:

If no = sign is present (e.g. "has:foo"), it'd be nice to just match
 on every message that has property "foo", regardless of value.

It would also be good to include some tests.

This applies atop bermner's "message properties" series, and makes it
possible to query for messages with specific properties.
