The default is actually exact if no checkatleast parameter is
specified. This change makes that explicit, mainly for documentation,
but also to be safe in the unlikely event of a change of default.

Audit all libnotmuch entry points to ensure that all Xapian calls are
wrapped in a try/catch block.
-Fix the "count" functionality to be exact as Olly explained in IRC:
-
- ojwb> cworth: if you set the check_at_least parameter to the
- database size, get_matches_estimated() will be exact
-
Fix the threading of a message that has a References: header but no
In-Reply-To: header (see id:"87lixxnxpb.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org").
