notmuch: move new maildir files to cur upon opening a folder
By default "notmuch new" will index files in place and won't move new files from the new/ directory to cur/ because it assumes that is the job of the email client. During normal operation, once moved by the client, the "notmuch new" command will "fix" the database by detecting file renames. This workflow is a problem because we need to move the new/ files to cur/, otherwise the maildir lib will not work properly, but at the same time we cannot afford the notmuch database to be out of sync with the location of message files on disk, because we rely on it for listing folders, displaying emails, ect... This change uses a trick that request notmuch to synchronize message tags to maildir flags, that will effectively rename new files and cause them to be moved into the cur/ directory.
