Note: this appears to result in a slight performance regression,
  I think, but I'm on a busy system...

  In theory I expect it to work since smaller work units means
  better work distribution when we're dealing with a few gigantic
  inboxes (LKML) and many smaller ones; but perhaps the extra
  IPC overhead from the multitudes of small inboxes on my lore
  mirror ends up hurting.

Instead of dumping all Xapian shards of an inbox with a
single xap_helper command, issue one xap_helper command
per-shard (as we already do with the cidx shards) to get
smaller work units and improve work sharing.
