lib: Make notmuch_database_get_directory return NULL if the directory is not found
Using the new support from _notmuch_directory_create, this makes notmuch_database_get_directory a read-only operation that simply returns the directory object if it exists or NULL otherwise. This also means that notmuch_database_get_directory can work on read-only databases. This change breaks the directory mtime workaround in notmuch-new.c by fixing the exact issue it was working around. This permits mtime update races to prevent scans of changed directories, which non-deterministically breaks a few tests. The next patch fixes this.
