It looks like HDDs and SSDs have gotten and will get even more
expensive due to manufacturing freezes from the pandemic.

Indexing (especially with --reindex to fixup old bugs) takes a
large amount of space, so support running compact immediately
after indexing to avoid users having to script a -compact
invocation for each inbox.  Compacting before indexing can be
triggered by using this switch twice, to further reduce space
overhead at a small time loss.

Note: I only found the bug fixed in 1/2 while testing 2/2.  It
took me a while to fix this bug because I've probably lost 10
IQ points from the stress of recent weeks :<
