[PATCH] introduce new.rename_tags for renamed (moved) messages

IMAP clients (such as webmail) use folders to mark messages as junk
etc., some even to mark messages as trash ("move to trash"). Such a
change is reported by notmuch as a rename; the message is not tagged
with new.tags since it is not new, so that there is no way to act upon a
rename.

Introduce new.rename_tags (default: not set) which are added by `notmuch
new` to renamed messages. This allows to act upon renames, e.g. to keep
the IMAP folder structure in sync with tags with a tool like `afew` or
homecooked scripts simply by filtering for this tag in the same ways as
one would filter for new messages using new.tags.
