/* Here's the current schema for our database (for NOTMUCH_DATABASE_VERSION):
 *
 * We currently have three different types of documents (mail, ghost,
 * and directory) and also some metadata.
 *
 * Mail document
 * -------------
 * A mail document is associated with a particular email message. It
 * is stored in one or more files on disk (though only one has its
 * content indexed) and is uniquely identified  by its "id" field
 * (which is generally the message ID). It is indexed with the
 * following prefixed terms which the database uses to construct
 * threads, etc.:
 *
 *    Single terms of given prefix:
 *
 *      type:   mail
 *
 *      id:     Unique ID of mail. This is from the Message-ID header
 *              if present and not too long (see NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_ID_MAX).
 *              If it's present and too long, then we use
 *              "notmuch-sha1-<sha1_sum_of_message_id>".
 *              If this header is not present, we use
 *              "notmuch-sha1-<sha1_sum_of_entire_file>".
 *
 *      thread: The ID of the thread to which the mail belongs
 *
 *      replyto: The ID from the In-Reply-To header of the mail (if any).
 *
 *    Multiple terms of given prefix:
 *
 *      reference: All message IDs from In-Reply-To and References
 *                 headers in the message.
 *
 *      tag:       Any tags associated with this message by the user.
 *
 *      file-direntry:  A colon-separated pair of values
 *                      (INTEGER:STRING), where INTEGER is the
 *                      document ID of a directory document, and
 *                      STRING is the name of a file within that
 *                      directory for this mail message.
 *
 *    A mail document also has four values:
 *
 *      TIMESTAMP:      The time_t value corresponding to the message's
 *                      Date header.
 *
 *      MESSAGE_ID:     The unique ID of the mail mess (see "id" above)
 *
 *      FROM:           The value of the "From" header
 *
 *      SUBJECT:        The value of the "Subject" header
 *
 *      LAST_MOD:       The revision number as of the last tag or
 *                      filename change.
 *
 * In addition, terms from the content of the message are added with
 * "from", "to", "attachment", and "subject" prefixes for use by the
 * user in searching. Similarly, terms from the path of the mail
 * message are added with "folder" and "path" prefixes. But the
 * database doesn't really care itself about any of these.
 *
 * The data portion of a mail document is empty.
 *
 * Ghost mail document [if NOTMUCH_FEATURE_GHOSTS]
 * -----------------------------------------------
 * A ghost mail document is like a mail document, but where we don't
 * have the message content.  These are used to track thread reference
 * information for messages we haven't received.
 *
 * A ghost mail document has type: ghost; id and thread fields that
 * are identical to the mail document fields; and a MESSAGE_ID value.
 *
 * Directory document
 * ------------------
 * A directory document is used by a client of the notmuch library to
 * maintain data necessary to allow for efficient polling of mail
 * directories.
 *
 * All directory documents contain one term:
 *
 *      directory:      The directory path (relative to the database path)
 *                      Or the SHA1 sum of the directory path (if the
 *                      path itself is too long to fit in a Xapian
 *                      term).
 *
 * And all directory documents for directories other than top-level
 * directories also contain the following term:
 *
 *      directory-direntry: A colon-separated pair of values
 *                          (INTEGER:STRING), where INTEGER is the
 *                          document ID of the parent directory
 *                          document, and STRING is the name of this
 *                          directory within that parent.
 *
 * All directory documents have a single value:
 *
 *      TIMESTAMP:      The mtime of the directory (at last scan)
 *
 * The data portion of a directory document contains the path of the
 * directory (relative to the database path).
 *
 * Database metadata
 * -----------------
 * Xapian allows us to store arbitrary name-value pairs as
 * "metadata". We currently use the following metadata names with the
 * given meanings:
 *
 *      version         The database schema version, (which is distinct
 *                      from both the notmuch package version (see
 *                      notmuch --version) and the libnotmuch library
 *                      version. The version is stored as an base-10
 *                      ASCII integer. The initial database version
 *                      was 1, (though a schema existed before that
 *                      were no "version" database value existed at
 *                      all). Successive versions are allocated as
 *                      changes are made to the database (such as by
 *                      indexing new fields).
 *
 *      features        The set of features supported by this
 *                      database. This consists of a set of
 *                      '\n'-separated lines, where each is a feature
 *                      name, a '\t', and compatibility flags.  If the
 *                      compatibility flags contain 'w', then the
 *                      opener must support this feature to safely
 *                      write this database.  If the compatibility
 *                      flags contain 'r', then the opener must
 *                      support this feature to read this database.
 *                      Introduced in database version 3.
 *
 *      last_thread_id  The last thread ID generated. This is stored
 *                      as a 16-byte hexadecimal ASCII representation
 *                      of a 64-bit unsigned integer. The first ID
 *                      generated is 1 and the value will be
 *                      incremented for each thread ID.
 *
 *      C*              metadata keys starting with C indicate
 *                      configuration data. It can be managed with the
 *                      n_database_*config* API.  There is a convention
 *                      of hierarchical keys separated by '.' (e.g.
 *                      query.notmuch stores the value for the named
 *                      query 'notmuch'), but it is not enforced by the
 *                      API.
 *
 * Obsolete metadata
 * -----------------
 *
 * If ! NOTMUCH_FEATURE_GHOSTS, there are no ghost mail documents.
 * Instead, the database has the following additional database
 * metadata:
 *
 *      thread_id_*     A pre-allocated thread ID for a particular
 *                      message. This is actually an arbitrarily large
 *                      family of metadata name. Any particular name is
 *                      formed by concatenating "thread_id_" with a message
 *                      ID (or the SHA1 sum of a message ID if it is very
 *                      long---see description of 'id' in the mail
 *                      document). The value stored is a thread ID.
 *
 *                      These thread ID metadata values are stored
 *                      whenever a message references a parent message
 *                      that does not yet exist in the database. A
 *                      thread ID will be allocated and stored, and if
 *                      the message is later added, the stored thread
 *                      ID will be used (and the metadata value will
 *                      be cleared).
 *
 *                      Even before a message is added, it's
 *                      pre-allocated thread ID is useful so that all
 *                      descendant messages that reference this common
 *                      parent can be recognized as belonging to the
 *                      same thread.
 */

/* With these prefix values we follow the conventions published here:
 *
 * https://xapian.org/docs/omega/termprefixes.html
 *
 * as much as makes sense. Note that I took some liberty in matching
 * the reserved prefix values to notmuch concepts, (for example, 'G'
 * is documented as "newsGroup (or similar entity - e.g. a web forum
 * name)", for which I think the thread is the closest analogue in
 * notmuch. This in spite of the fact that we will eventually be
 * storing mailing-list messages where 'G' for "mailing list name"
 * might be even a closer analogue. I'm treating the single-character
 * prefixes preferentially for core notmuch concepts (which will be
 * nearly universal to all mail messages).
