2019-05-24doc: add URLs for Xapian manpages
Since we go through the effort of hosting these manpages, link to them.
2019-05-24doc: xcpdb: add switch documentation
In particular, the '--compact' switch is really useful since it works without holding the inbox-wide lock for minutes at a time on giant inboxes (inboxes where copies can take dozens, if not hundreds of minutes).
2019-05-23doc: various updates to reflect current state
-index documentation avoid redundant v1 information and refers readers to apropriate v1/v2 manpages. Search::Xapian can also be optional, now, as only the PSGI search interface uses it. Favor "INBOX_DIR" where appropriate, since "REPO_DIR" can be confused for code repos which we also support. XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD is documented for all relevant bulk commands.
2018-03-29public-inbox-compact: new tool for driving xapian-compact
Having multiple Xapian partitions is mostly pointless after the initial import. We can compact all the partitions into one while keeping the skeleton separate.
