The shell pipeline used to symlink files based in search results
to "cache" directory for mutt(1) to use was prone to portability
problems (due to /bin/sh differences).

The replacement executes `notmuch search` without intermediate shell
(so shell_quote was removed in this case), reads the filenames from
piped output and symlinks files internally.

Now also tested a bit by me (remoteusage provides stale symlinks ;)
