New description:

 The remote database was briefly feature complete, but it's fallen behind
 again -
 it doesn't support spelling correction, synonym expansion, or
 matchdeciders.

 We should add these in to it at some point.

Comment(by olly):

 The !MultiValueCountMatchSpy patch hunk isn't relevant for trunk, as that
 class doesn't exist there.

 This changes the remote protocol incompatibly, so
 XAPIAN_REMOTE_PROTOCOL_MAJOR_VERSION needs bumping from 33 to 34, which
 I've done.

 Also, the documentation for the remote protocol (remote_protocol.html)
 needs updating, which I've also done.

 {{{RemoteServer::set_metadata()}}} was truncating at zero bytes in the
 value - I've extended the metadata1 test to cover cases with zero bytes,
 and fixed the patch.

 And the new methods use 2 space indents rather than the standard 4, so I
 fixed that too.

 I assume this work is (C) Lemur, so I updated the headers to reflect that.
 If that's wrong, let me know.

 Committed to trunk with the changes above as r13688.
