Andrew G Cohen ecfc13e416 Introduce nnselect backend for gnus
This new backend allows gnus to handle arbitrary sets of messages
spanning multiple groups, even when these groups are from different
backends and different servers. All gnus glue is removed from
nnir (leaving only the backend search functions) and gnus
search-related processing is done through nnselect. In appropriate
places 'nnir' has been replaced by 'nnselect' or 'search'.

searching and thread-referral  sections.
