[PATCH 1/2] filter/rubylang: reuse altid entry from inbox object

[Eric Wong]

This allows users to DRY up their config a bit and avoid
specifying altid twice when reusing the NNTP-centric msgmap
for [ruby-*:\d+] serial numbers.

My current work-in-progress ~/.public-inbox/config entry
for the ruby-core list is:

------8<-------
[publicinbox "ruby-core"]
        address = ruby-c...@ruby-lang.org
        url = //public-inbox.org/ruby-core
        mainrepo = /path/to/ruby-core.git
        newsgroup = inbox.comp.lang.ruby.core
        watchheader = List-Id:<ruby-core.ruby-lang.org>
        altid = serial:ruby-core:file=msgmap.sqlite3
        watch = maildir:/path/to/Maildir/.INBOX.ruby
        filter = PublicInbox::Filter::RubyLang
