This is an unfinished patch to handle Dovecot locking, which is useful
if we'd like to support running notmuch directly on a Dovecot Maildir:

  http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#Locking

For now, I'm interested in general comments, i.e. is this desirable, is
it a reasonable approach, etc.  As you can see, there's no config
handling yet, so -llockfile is added unconditionally.
