[rfc patch v2 2/5] added notmuch_message_reindex

From: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg at fifthhorseman.net>

This new function asks the database to reindex a given message.
The parameter `indexopts` is currently ignored, but is intended to
provide an extensible API to support e.g. changing the encryption or
filtering status (e.g. whether and how certain non-plaintext parts are
indexed).

Since we have no way of distinguising terms added (without prefix)
from the headers and terms added from the body, we just save the tags
and properties, remove the message from the database entirely, and add
it back into the database in full, re-adding tags and properties as
needed.
