[notmuch] [PATCH] Make search filters handle disjunctive queries.

Subject: [notmuch] [PATCH] Make search filters handle disjunctive queries.

From: Jed Brown

notmuch-search-filter accepts now accepts an arbitrary query and will
group if necessary so that we get

  tag:inbox AND (gravy OR biscuits)

notmuch-search-filter-tag now handles multiple terms.  All terms in the
query except AND and OR are interpreted as tags.
