python: Bulletproof Database() path parameter
libnotmuch (and python) crashed when I accidently passed in an invalid value as path argument to the Database() instantiation. Therefore, we now check via assert that the handed in path is actually a real string (or None). Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian@SSpaeth.de>
