fix(db): Avoid dirty reads while deleting messages by uid #9423

  1. Instead of SELECT all data into memory and run a second DELETE query, use a sub query.
  2. Instead of looking up IDs for UIDs and deleting by ID, delete by UID directly.

This method was prone to dirty reads before. Now there are only write queries.

Ref nextcloud/groupware#24

How to test

  1. Set up an account in Mail and a second client
  2. Delete messages in the other client
  3. Sync Mail


foreach (array_chunk($uids, 1000) as $chunk) {
$messageIdQuery->setParameter('uids', $chunk, IQueryBuilder::PARAM_INT_ARRAY);
$cursor = $messageIdQuery->executeQuery();

The original implementation of deleteByUid did use a sub query too: #4663. Then #4947 added an intermediate fetch. @miaulalala do you remember why this was done?

Most likely because I ran into the usual subquery issues (where to put the brackets) and didn't know how to fix it back then.
