Query::MatchNothing and Query::MatchAll aren't wrapped

[richard]

The obvious patch for this (below) doesn't work - in Python, you get a property of xapian.Query() added, which means that you have to instantiate xapian.Query to get at MatchNothing? (ie, xapian.Query().MatchNothing? works, but xapian.Query.MatchNothing? doesn't). It should be easy enough to fix this with a python specific workaround though.

PHP also doesn't work; I can't seem to access the resulting function at all, but this may be more due to my lack of PHP knowledge.

I've not tested for other languages yet.

Marking this for 1.0.x, since it ought to be fixed. It really ought to be simple to fix, but I'm not completely sure how to do so, or I'd have marked it for 1.0.1.

Someone pointed out on IRC that we could wrap these by hand in the languages by making use of the Query() and Query("") forms. This certainly seems feasible for Python anyway.

(In #120) Remove the unfixed dependencies so we can close this bug - they're all marked for the 1.1.0 milestone.
