2021-05-17doc lei: add manpages for new commands
[ew: MANIFEST: s/lei-cat/lei-lcat/]
2021-05-04treewide: update to v3 Tor onions
v2 onions are insecure, deprecated and going away. v3 names are unfortunately longer and more difficult to remember, but should be more resistant to attack than v2 ones.
2021-04-28doc: lei: use /tmp for search results pathnames
This drives the point home about results being volatile and discardable.
2021-03-31doc: lei-overview: favor Maildir for mutt examples
mboxes are generally horrible for interactive read-write use due to locking. Describe our parallel behavior with mutt, since writing mail can take a long while and being able to read results as they're written is nice. We'll also use a gzipped mboxrd for the import example, since we can decompress gzipped mboxrds automatically, now.
2021-03-30lei tag: rename from "lei mark"
I've decided "tag" is a better verb since it seems more widely-used term for associating metadata with data. Not only is it analogous to the "notmuch tag" command, but also makes sense when compared to tooling for manipulating metadata for non-mail data (e.g. audio metadata tags). There's even a Wikipedia entry for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata) whereas "mark" is used in the description, but has no entry of its own with regards to metadata.

2021-02-23doc: lei: favor "-o format:$PATHNAME" over "-f"
The --format argument is redundant and may be dropped entirely. Update the lei manpages to prefer the format prefix. cf. https://public-inbox.org/meta/20210217044032.GA17934@dcvr/
