dump/restore: Use Xapian queries for batch-tag format
This switches the new batch-tag format away from using a home-grown hex-encoding scheme for message IDs in the dump to simply using Xapian queries with Xapian quoting syntax. This has a variety of advantages beyond presenting a cleaner and more consistent interface. Foremost is that it will dramatically simplify the quoting for batch tagging, which shares the same input format. While the hex-encoding is no better or worse for the simple ID queries used by dump/restore, it becomes onerous for general-purpose queries used in batch tagging. It also better handles strange cases like "id:foo and bar", since this is no longer syntactically valid.
