The hard limit from sqlite may be larger, but things slow down as more
tags are selected.

There are a number of things that could be improved here:
- we should show a live count so users are aware of the limit
- we should be filling in the parent tags when they're not explicitly
listed on a card
- we should reconsider disabling the 'tags to include' by default
It may make sense to defer these changes until we can move this screen
into Svelte/handle the processing in the backend.
Combine existing check for unparsable templates with a check for unknown
field names and a check for front sides without any field replacement.
Updating the notetype's fields now mutates the parsed templates, so the
checks can run on the final templates.
- Daily limits are no longer inherited - each deck limits its own
cards, and the selected deck enforces a maximum limit.
- Fetching of review cards now uses a single query, and sorts in advance.
In collections with a large number of overdue cards and decks, this is
faster than iterating over each deck in turn.
- Include interday learning count in review count & review limit, and
allow them to be buried.
- Warn when parent review limit is lower than child deck in deck options.
- Cap the new card limit to the review limit.
- Add option to control whether new card fetching short-circuits.
Updating a deck via protobuf is now exposed on the backend, but not
currently on the frontend - I suspect we'll be better off writing
separate routines for the actions we need instead, and we get a better
undo description for free.
This is currently causing an ugly redraw in the browse screen, which
will need fixing.
Older translations will note have the $notetype variable, but that is
not an error in Fluent - it would only cause problems if we tried to
use the new string on older Anki versions.
- Filtered deck creation now happens as an atomic operation, and is
undoable.
- The logic for initial search text, normalizing searches and so on
has been pushed into the backend.
- Use protobuf to pass the filtered deck to the updated dialog, so
we don't need to deal with untyped JSON.
- Change the "revise your search?" prompt to be a simple info box -
user has access to cancel and build buttons, and doesn't need a separate
prompt. Tweak the wording so the 'show excluded' button should be more
obvious.
- Filtered decks have a time appended to them instead of a number,
primarily because it's easier to implement. No objections going back to
the old behaviour if someone wants to contribute a clean patch.
The standard de-duplication will happen if two decks are created in the
same minute with the same name.
- Tweak the default sort order, and start with two searches. The UI
will still hide the second search by default, but by starting with two,
the frontend doesn't need logic for creating the starting text.
- Search errors now have their own error type, instead of using
InvalidInput, as that was intended mainly for bad API calls. The markdown
conversion is done when the error is converted from the backend, allowing
errors to printed as a string without any special handling by the calling
code.
TODO: when building a new filtered deck, update_active() is clobbering
the undo log when the overview is refreshed
