python: move legacy python bindings to contrib.

This forces us to verify the build and test suite completes without
the legacy python bindings.

As of this commit the legacy python bindings are unsupported by
notmuch. They are provided in contrib/ for now, but will most likely
eventually be removed from there as well. We recommend that
downstream/distro packagers phase out their packages for the legacy
python bindings.

+========
+
+The notmuch module provides an interface to the `notmuch
+<https://notmuchmail.org>`_ functionality, directly interfacing with a
+shared notmuch library. Notmuch provides a maildatabase that allows
+for extremely quick searching and filtering of your email according to
+various criteria.
+
+The documentation for the latest notmuch release can be `viewed
+online <https://notmuch.readthedocs.io/>`_.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+You need to have notmuch installed (or rather libnotmuch.so.1). Also,
+notmuch makes use of the ctypes library, and has only been tested with
+python >= 2.5. It will not work on earlier python versions.
