[Gnorb] Registry search functions

[Gnorb] Registry search functions

[Eric Abrahamsen]

For gnorb users:

For ages I've wanted functions for using the registry as a search index:
it stores sender/recipient/subject information, which is perfectly
sufficient for three quarters of my searches, which are typically of the
format "where's that email so-and-so sent me last week about the
thingy?" Plus it's fast, and you don't have to mark groups in advance.

I've added a `gnorb-gnus-search-registry' function to gnorb 1.5, as well
as a helm version for helm users: `gnorb-helm-search-registry', which I
find particularly useful, in combination with candidate marking and
"M-a" to mark all candidates.

These are gnorb-specific only because nnir needs a server to be
specified in order to hang search groups on it (if this is not the case
I would love to know about it). When Andy's nnselect branch lands, this
requirement will go away, and I'll move the functions into Gnus itself.

Enjoy!
Eric
