It comes up often enough and we need to ensure it's not
confused with IMAP "slices".

Oops :x

Since keywords and mailboxes (AKA labels) are separate things in
JMAP; and only keywords can map reliably to Maildir and mbox;
we'll keep them separate in our internal data representations,
too.
I initially wanted to call this just "meta" for "metadata", but
that might be confused with our mailing list name. "metadata"
is already used in Xapian's own API, to add another layer of
confusion.
"tags" was also considered, but probably confusing to notmuch
users since our "labels" are analogous to "tags" in notmuch,
and notmuch doesn't seem to cover "keywords" separately...
So "vmd" it is, since we haven't used this particular
three-letter-abbreviation anywhere before; and "volatile" seems
like a good description of this metadata since everything else
up to this point has been mostly WORM (write-once, read-many).

These have been confusing to me in the past, too.

This is intended to keep track of concepts with different terms
between NNTP, IMAP, config file, lei storage, and upcoming
JMAP support.
