mail: Fix mail-check hooks
Fixed running the hooks for `mail-check`. Command (or variable?)
substition prevented the hooks from running completely beforehand, so I
moved them to a separate function with the option remaining to call a
custom script for them through environment variables.

Ideally the env vars (`MBSYNC_PRE` and `MBSYNC_POST`) should only point
to a single script each, as more involved commands will presumably fail
to execute correctly when whitespace substition is involved.

e-mail module

aerc - terminal mail client isync - mirror your Imapped mail directory locally with two way synchronization notmuch - index and search your mail

The current mail setup uses mbsync (from the isync project) to locally mirror the GMail imap folder. It, as of now, needs to be manually run by invoking mbsync gmail -- which expects your username and password to reside in a pass accessible file called misc/aerc-gmail-app-password. In other words --- this is very specific to my setup and if transferring the options, please customize to your needs.

Then, notmuch can be run on the local maildir to generate and indexed full-text search engine. Right now, notmuch can only be used through its cli, it is not yet connected to aerc.

aerc picks up the maildir created by mbsync in ~/documents/mail and works on it. mbsync syncs any changes made back to the remote imap directory.
