python: Simplify setup.py

We were using a template setup.py which parsed __init__.py in complex
ways just to find out the version number. Simply import notmuch and use
__VERSION__ directly. Also adapt some wording and setup.py values while
going through.

 Requirements
 ------------
 
-You need to have notmuch installed (or rather libnotmuch.so.1). The
-release version 0.3 should work fine. Also, notmuch makes use of the
-ctypes library, and has only been tested with python 2.5. It will not
