Expose search engine to external tools

[BjarniRunar]

This issue tracks the milestones defined in the "Mailpile Search Integration" Project which is supported by a grant from NLNet and NGI0 Discovery.

• [x] Port over / re-implement a working search engine in Python 3
• [x] Enhance the search engine to allow partitioning / compartmentalization of result sets
• [x] Give the user tools to selectively grant access to one or more partitions of results
• [x] Expose the search engine using a documented web-based API
• [x] Describe how to configure SearX for use with moggie, as a proof of concept
• [ ] Review and update documentation when #3 is done

The search engine and partitioning work is (modulo bugs and future refactoring) complete.

There are now tools and docs explaining how to grant restricted access to the moggie search engine:

There is now enough of a web interface exposed to allow 3rd party tools to search, display results, and display individual messages.

The search integration docs have been updated with a section aimed at developers: https://github.com/BjarniRunar/moggie/blob/master/docs/search-integration.md#6-notes-for-developers

Relevant commits:

• 8ec813150911dcba6afc55f6e156ba98320a301e - moggie search: Add signatures to result message IDs
• 48bbd69f71da17eb3f763ad36359a2cddda1bfed - moggie show mostly works now
• a25782c10eff76a024b831498930092272c75077 - Documented search/show API for integration

The proof-of-concept SearX plugin is here: https://github.com/BjarniRunar/moggie/blob/master/contrib/searx/moggie.py

It works! However there does seem to be a bug in moggie's web server causing it to fail when Firefox connects to it directly (when a user clicks a search result in SearX). Reloading the blank page seems to suffice? I'll have to track that down, but it's not directly related to this.

As a first draft, this is complete. Leaving open, because the API should be reviewed and documentation improved further once all the notmuch #3 work is complete.
