lib: Remove message document directly after removing the last file name.

Previously, notmuch_database_remove_message would remove the message
file name, sync the change to the message document, re-find the
message document, and then delete it if there were no more file names.
An interruption after sync'ing would result in a file-name-less,
permanently un-removable zombie message that would produce errors and
odd results in searches.  We could wrap this in an atomic section, but
it's much simpler to eliminate the round-about approach and just
delete the message document instead of sync'ing it if we removed the
last filename.
