We need to delay writing out the mailbox until the compressor

gzip/pigz/xz/bzip2 process after augment is complete.

lei_to_mail: optimize for MUAs
Instead of optimizing our own performance, this optimizes
our data to reduce work done by the MUA consumer.
Maildir and mbox destinations no longer support any notion of
the IMAP \Recent flag. JMAP has no functioning \Recent
equivalent, and neither do we.
In practice, having MUAs (e.g. mutt) clear the \Recent flag when
committing changes to the mbox is expensive: it creates a
rename(2) storm with Maildir and overwrites the entire mbox.
For mboxcl2 (and mboxcl), we'll further optimize mutt behavior
by setting the Lines: header in addition to Content-Length.
With these changes, mutt exits instantaneously on mboxcl2,
mboxcl, and Maildirs generated by "lei q".

lei q: parallelize Maildir and mbox writing
With 4 dedicated workers, this seems to provide a 100-120%
speedup on a 4 core machine when writing thousands of search
results to a Maildir or mbox. This also sets us up for
high-latency IMAP destinations in the future.
This opens the door to more speedup opportunities such
as optimizing dedupe locking and other ways to reduce
contention.
This change is fairly complex and convoluted, unfortunately.
Further work may allow us to simplify it and even improve
performance.

lei q: add --mua-cmd switch
It can be convenient to invoke an MUA as search results
are being written to it, as an eager person may want to
start seeing results ASAP. This lets Maildir users
see results in the MUA as we are writing them. Users
of IMAP will eventually be able to take advantage of
them, too.
Since we don't support mbox locking (yet?), we'll only invoke
the MUA after results are done for mbox formats.

Children should not be blindly killing siblings on ->DESTROY
