Add 'cat' subcommand
This command outputs a raw message matched by search term to the standard output. It allows MUAs to access the messages for piping, attachment manipulation, etc. by running notmuch cat rather then directly access the file. This will simplify the MUAs when they need to operate on a remote database. Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Remove trailing whitespace, add missing "test_done" to new test script to avoid "Unexpected exit" error.
