lib: reword comment about XFOLDER: prefix
I believe the current one is misleading, because in my experiments
Xapian did not add : when prefix and term were both upper case. Indeed,
it's hard to see how it could, because prefixes are added at a layer
above Xapian in our code. See _notmuch_message_add_term for an example.
Also try to explain why this is a good idea. As far as I can ascertain,
this is more of an issue for a system trying to work with an unknown set
of prefixes. Since notmuch has a fixed set of prefixes, and we can
hopefully be trusted not to add XGOLD and XGOLDEN as prefixes, it is
harder for problems to arise.
The User-Agent: header can be fun and interesting, but it also leaks
quite a bit of information about the user and their software stack.
This represents a potential security risk (attackers can target the
particular stack) and also an anonymity risk (a user trying to
preserve their anonymity by sending mail from a non-associated account
might reveal quite a lot of information if their choice of mail user
agent is exposed).
This change also avoids hiding the User-Agent header by default, so
that people who decide they want to send it will at least see it (and
can edit it if they want to) before sending.

emacs: wash: word-wrap bugfix
Previously notmuch-wash made the width of the text (approximately) the
window-width minus the depth in thread. This is correct for the
default indentation of 1 per message depth, but is incorrect for any
other setting of notmuch-show-indent-messages-width.
As notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is customisable, and notmuch-tree
sets it to zero to avoid indenting messages in the message pane, this
bug can show up in real use.
Two of the tests had to be updated: when
notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 0, then the new (correct) word
wrapping happens later, when notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 4,
then the new word wrapping happens sooner.

emacs: show: improve handling of mark read tagging errors
Previously if a marking read tag change (i.e., removing the unread
tag) failed for some reason, such as a locked database, then no more
mark read tag changes would be attempted in that buffer.
This handles the error more gracefully. There is not much we can do
yet about dealing with the error itself, and marking read is probably
not important enough to warrant keeping a queue of pending changes or
anything.
However this commit changes it so that
- we do try and make future mark read tag changes.
- we display the tag state correctly: i.e. we don't display the tag as
deleted (no strike through)
- and since we know the tag change failed we can try to mark this
message read in the future. Indeed, since the code uses the
post-command hook we will try again on the next keypress (unless the
user has left the message).
We indicate to the user that these mark read tag changes may have
failed in the header-line.

en_US.utf8 works fine on Linux, and that is what locale -a

Grep it through the files in /etc/, for example.
Easy way to test: Run the following command lines. First should
complain about setting locale failed, and second should not.
