This modifies notmuch hello to use the new count --batch functionality. It should give exactly the same results as before but under many conditions it should be much faster. In particular it is much faster for remote use. The code is a little ugly as it has to do some working out of the query when asking the query and some when dealing with the result. However, the code path is exactly the same in both local and remote use. --- It's a little ugly but seems to work and does give a useful speedup.
