lib: Don't delete uninitialized pointers
In the error-handling paths of notmuch_database_open, we call notmuch_database_close, which "delete"s several objects referenced by the notmuch_database_t object. However, some of these pointers may be uninitialized, resulting in undefined behavior. Hence, allocate the notmuch_database_t with talloc_zero to make sure these pointers are NULL so that "delete"ing them is harmless.
