Some miscellaneous help and cleanup things, too.

Document data is no longer read from Xapian by read-only
daemons; that data is redundant given over.sqlite3 always
exists.  This should should improve page cache hit rates for
over.sqlite3 by a small bit.  Being able to mass load a bunch of
rows from SQLite speeds up the default search summary view by
~10%, too.

--skip-docdata option to -init and -index can avoid writing
Xapian document data, saving ~1.5% in Xapian space overhead
(and associated I/O and page cache overheads).  It breaks
rollbacks to old versions, though, so it won't be the default.

Eric Wong (23):
  doc: note -compact and -xcpdb are rarely used
  admin: progress shows the inbox being indexed
  compact: support --help/-? and perform lazy loading
  init: support --help and -?
  init: support --newsgroup option
  init: drop -N alias for --skip-artnum
  search: v2: ensure shards are numerically sorted
  xapcmd: simplify {reindex} parameter passing
  www: reduce long-lived PublicInbox::Search references
  search: improve comments around constants
  search: export mdocid subroutine
  searchquery: split off from searchview
  search: make qparse_new an internal function
  smsg: reduce utf8::decode call sites
  searchview: use over.sqlite3 instead of Xapian docdata
  searchview: speed up search summary by ~10%
  searchview: convert nested and Atom display to over.sqlite3
  extmsg: avoid using Xapian docdata
  mbox: avoid Xapian docdata in search results
  smsg: remove from_mitem
  t/nntpd-v2: set PI_TEST_VERSION=2 properly
  init+index: support --skip-docdata for Xapian
  search: add mset_to_artnums method
