As well as the immediate change, give a bit of the backround on
upcoming breaking changes from GLib.

 Notmuch 0.38.1 (UNRELEASED)
 ===========================
 
+General
+-------
+
+Report config parsing errors from GLib. Previously notmuch silently
+exited with success (0) on parsing errors. Upcoming releases of GLib
+will be more strict about parsing escape codes, causing previously
+parsed config files to report errors. Provide diagnostics to help
+users correct their config files.
