[PATCH] test: add known broken test for indexing html

'quite' on IRC reported that notmuch new was grinding to a halt during
initial indexing, and we eventually narrowed the problem down to some
html parts with large embedded images. These cause the number of terms
added to the Xapian database to explode (the first 400 messages
generated 4.6M unique terms), and of course the resulting terms are
not much use for searching.
---

I'm not sure the best approach to fix this. Workarounds include
limiting the size of the part indexed, and skipping html parts. The
latter is easy, but probably too drastic.  A nice solution might be a
filter similar to the existing one that strips out uuencoded text but
for base64. Alas base64 crud seems to come with all kinds of syntactic
wrappers, so it's probably harder to filter.
