python-cffi: fix out-of-tree build

The main idea is to replace the hack of copying version.txt into the
bindings source with a generated _notmuch_config.py file.

This will mean that the bindings only build after configuring and
building notmuch itself. Given those constraints, "pip install ."
should work.
