The library has supported profile-based configuration resolution (via
the NOTMUCH_PROFILE environment variable) for some time, and all three
library entry points already accept a profile parameter. This series
exposes that functionality as a --profile=PROFILE CLI flag, making it
consistent with --config (which overrides NOTMUCH_CONFIG).

The design follows the --config pattern: parsed once in main() before
subcommand dispatch, rather than added to notmuch_shared_options. This
keeps it from appearing in every subcommand's --help output and avoids
redundant re-parsing.

Since v1 (20260509155257.2477368-1-inwit@sindominio.net):

  - renamed the profile variable from notmuch_requested_profile to
    profile_name, following config_file_name (review by David Bremner)

  - quoted shell variables in the new test helper functions (review
    by David Bremner and Tomi Ollila)

  - T035 count expectations are now derived from the corpus at test
    time rather than hard-coded; the previous hard-coded 52 was stale
    because the new subtests ran after subtests that add messages
