searchidx: fix incremental index with indexlevel=basic on v1
We were reindexing the full history every invocation of -index
when Xapian was not used because we were incorrectly relying on
'last_commit' metadata stored in Xapian.
Rewrite the indexing logic to be less confusing while we're
at it, since we rely on `git merge-base --is-ancestor' nowadays.
Furthermore, we need to handle message removals from the
overview index correctly when Xapian is not in use.

Fortunately, there is a pattern to most of these package names
in all distros I've tested (and hopefully other BSDs have them,

Then, reorder the INSTALL document to mention the top-level
modules, first, so users can avoid needing to type extra
dependencies. However, we still list some implicit dependencies
in case the upstream package drops dependencies independently of
us.
Finally, Devel::Peek is not a dependency worth making optional

Perl5 is installed.
