Merge changes made in Gnus trunk.
auth.texi (Help for users): Mention ~/.netrc is also searched by default now. gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Set buffer-save-without-query, since we always want to save the dribble file, probably. nnmail.el (nnmail-article-group): Allow a final "" split to work on nnimap. gnus-sum.el (gnus-user-date-format-alist): Renamed back again from -summary- since it's a user-visible variable. nnimap.el (nnimap-retrieve-group-data-early): Don't do QRESYNC the first time you use the new Gnus. auth-source.el: Don't load netrc.el. (auth-sources): Search ~/.netrc as well by default. (auth-source-debug): Add 'trivia option for extra output. (auth-source-do-trivia): Use it. (auth-source-search): Simplify logic to use `auth-source-search-backends'. Use `auth-source-do-trivia' where appropriate. Don't keep a running count at this level. Layer :create and :delete options appropriately on the first and second passes. Don't track the backend with the search results. (auth-source-search-backends): New function to search a list of backends for a processed spec. (auth-source-netrc-parse): Cache all netrc files, making auth-source-netrc-cache an alist keyed by the file name and using the file mtime as the caching criterion. Keep the obfuscated data secret with a lexical bind. (auth-source-netrc-search): Don't calculate the length of the results unnecessarily. (auth-source-search-backends): Fix bug. (auth-source-netrc-create): Rework prompts. nnir.el (nnir-imap-search-arguments,nnir-imap-default-search-key): Lower case names of search constraints. (nnir-run-query): Cache and reuse search constraints for all imap servers. gnus-msg.el (gnus-setup-message): Define missing variable from last checkin.
