v2: fix reindex skipping NNTP article numbers
`public-inbox-index --reindex' could cause NNTP article number
gaps to form when it also has to deal with new,
never-before-seen commits in mirrors running off `git fetch'.
Fix this by running two distinct invocations of ->index_sync;
once to only reindex old commits, and a second time to index
new commits.
This does not appear to be a problem on v1 at the moment,
but I'll need more time to analyze this.

TODO: more stuff: bundles, synonyms, dogfooding
git bundles could/should make self-hosting easier.
Being able to configure synonym (and spelling) lists would make
some searches more useful.
Might as well dogfood kernel stuff, too, given the overlap and
history between this project, git and the Linux kernel. Would
be interesting to have *BSD folks throw their hat in the ring,
too.
Building/testing userspace stuff is often the most
time-consuming, but necessary to ensure future compatibility.

We don't have to be tied to the number of partitions in case

reindexing, but the copying phase is already intensive.
And optimize away the extra process when we only have a single

The wording for the (v2) reindexing phase could be improved,
later. I also plan to allow repartitioning of existing
