V2Writeable.pm: In unindex_oid delete the message from msgmap

Now that we track the num highwater mark it is safe to remove messages
from msgmap that have been previously allocated.  Removing even the
highest numbered article will no longer cause new message numbers to
move backwards.

V2Writeable.pm: Ensure that a found message number is in the msgmap

The lookup to see if a num has already been assigned to a message
happens in a temporary copy of message map.  It is possible that the
number has been removed from the current message map.  The
unindex/reindex after a history rewrite triggered by a purge should be
one such case.  Therefore add the number to the msgmap in case it is
not currently present.
