/// A fresh, unique Maildir filename, preserving \p oldName's flag suffix.
///
/// A FRESH name, never a reuse. mbsync writes a `,U=<n>` infix that is
/// meaningful only within one folder, and carrying it across a folder
/// boundary produced "Maildir error: duplicate UID" on real mail. Only the
/// `:2,` flag suffix is carried, because the flags describe the message
/// rather than its position.
///
/// Pass an empty string for a message that has no previous name, which is
/// what a newly composed draft is.

/// The file \p path names, or the renamed file that replaced it.
///
/// Item 163. mbsync renames an uploaded file to add its `,U=<uid>` infix, and
/// anything holding the previous name (the model's `MessageRef::filePath`, a
/// draft's `ComposeContext::draftPath`) then points at a path that no longer
/// exists. Returns \p path unchanged when it is still there, so the ordinary
/// case costs one stat and nothing else.
///
/// Matched on the UNIQUE STEM, the part before the first `,` or `:`, which
/// mbsync preserves: `<stem>:2,D` becomes `<stem>,U=5:2,D`. That is what makes
/// this safe to do by filename at all. The search is confined to the file's
/// own directory and never recurses, and an ambiguous match (more than one
/// candidate, which a correct Maildir cannot produce) yields nothing rather
/// than guessing.
///
/// Empty when there is no such file, which every caller must treat as the
/// genuine "it is gone" it is: recovering silently from a real deletion would
/// turn a reportable defect into a wrong answer.
///
/// This resolves a RENAME, not a MOVE. A file that changed folders is a
/// different question and belongs to whoever knows the message id;
/// `NotmuchWorker::moveMessages()` re-resolves that way for item 162.
