Subject: initial splitting of notmuch.1

We mostly just cut and paste the command descriptions into individual
files, with a short header added to each one.

The splitting into subdirectories is to support the use of ./man as an
element in MANPATH, e.g. for testing.

+date of the newest (or oldest, depending on the sort option) matched
+message in the thread, the number of matched messages and total
+messages in the thread, the names of all participants in the thread,
+and the subject of the newest (or oldest) message.
