Replace all uses of OmSettings.
The arguments for OmSettings are not as compelling as we
originally thought, and it has definite drawbacks - one major one being
that there's no easy way to check for typos which can lead to users of
the library spending hours trying to sort out a bug which is just a
typo in an OmSettings value. Another argument for it was to allow passing
values to user weighting objects, etc, but I think it's best just to
implement these with a clone() method, and pass an example one in. And
we might as well make built-in weighting objects work the same way rather
than being a special case. Backends can be done similarly, though an
explicit factory is needed as there's more than one class to build.
Also remove docs/omsettings.

General |
Make backends / weighting schemes / indexer modules register themselves
automatically. At runtime / linktime? (ie, replace current conditional
compilation scheme) - actually, we can use sub-classing
and factory classes to do this more cleanly.

API |
Implement methods to iterate through all the documents in the database,
probably by making the empty term index all documents (or rather act as
if it does). Have patch which mostly implements this for the InMemory backend.

Check for zero byte cleanness wherever strings are used. There are a
number of c_str()s in the code, but I believe all in the core library
(excluding the bindings) are harmless at 2002-04-29. There may be other zero
byte issues though. xapian-applications/dbtools also uses c_str() where it
should probably use data() and length().

OmQuery |
Move all serialisation of OmQuery into OmQuery (out of socketcommon.cc and
localmatch): modification of omquery requires changes in 3 separate parts
of the code, at present.

Quartz |
Make quartz database autoflush when enough changes have been performed based
on the memory used up as a proportion of that available, rather than simply
when a count of changes is reached. Remove hardcoded count of 1000 changes.

Fix up examples and make sure they are actually instructive. Add a comment
to each describing what it demonstrates.
I've made a start. delve is a reasonable example. msearch probably needs
simplifying to just do a probabilistic search, or to use OmQueryParser.
Add example to copy quartz database as "Full compaction with revision 1"
(and perhaps delete/rename the bitmaps) as described in the quartz docs.
This should produce a small fast database optimised for fast searching.

indexgraph -> extra (needs to build as a support library?) [James
expressed an interest in this as dbtools needs it]

Documentation |
Ensure that API documentation covers entirety of API (i.e. that all methods and
classes in the API have documentation comments) -- see doxygen generated file
docs/doxygen_api_warnings for a list of undocumented methods. Then read
through generated API docs, and rewrite doc comments to improve clarity and
make them more coherent.
