cli: add support for batch tagging operations to "notmuch tag"

Add support for batch tagging operations through stdin to "notmuch
tag". This can be enabled with the new --batch command line option to
"notmuch tag". The input must consist of lines of the format:

+<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] <query> [...]

Each line is interpreted similarly to "notmuch tag" command line
arguments. The delimiter is one or more spaces ' '. Any characters in
<tag> MAY be hex encoded with %NN where NN is the hexadecimal value of
the character. Any ' ' and '%' characters in <tag> and MUST be hex
encoded (using %20 and %25, respectively). For future-proofing, any
'"' characters in <tag> SHOULD be hex-encoded.

Any characters that are not part of <tag> or
MUST NOT be hex encoded.

<query> is passed verbatim to Xapian

Leading and trailing space ' ' is ignored. Empty lines and lines
beginning with '#' are ignored.
