2020-08-20init+index: support --skip-docdata for Xapian
Since we no longer read document data from Xapian, allow users to opt-out of storing it. This breaks compatibility with previous releases of public-inbox, but gives us a ~1.5% space savings on Xapian storage (and associated I/O and page cache pressure reduction).
2020-07-25searchidx: rename _xdb_{acquire,release} => idx_
The "xdb" prefix was inaccurate since it's used by indexlevel=basic, which is Xapian-free. The '_' (underscore) prefix was also wrong for a method which is called across package boundaries.
2020-06-21tests: require git 2.6+ in more places
We also need to check for git 2.6 earlier in each test case, before any other TAP output is emitted to avoid confusing the TAP consumers.
2020-06-13inboxidle: new class to detect inbox changes
This will be used to implement IMAP IDLE, first. Eventually, it may be used to trigger other things: * incremental internal updates for manifest.js.gz * restart `git cat-file' processes on pack index unlink * IMAP IDLE-like long-polling HTTP endpoint And maybe more things we haven't thought of, yet. It uses Linux::Inotify2 or IO::KQueue depending on what packages are installed and what the kernel supports. It falls back to nanosecond-aware Time::HiRes::stat() (available with Perl 5.10.0+) on systems lacking Linux::Inotify2 and IO::KQueue. In the future, a pure Perl alternative to Linux::Inotify2 may be supplied for users of architectures we already support signalfd and epoll on. v2 changes: - avoid O_TRUNC on lock file - change ctime on Linux systems w/o inotify - fix naming of comments and fields
