[notmuch] [PATCH] notmuch.el: Completion for tag names.

[Jan Janak]

Add support for completion of tag names. Several commands ask the user
for a tag name. With this feature the user can just press tab and emacs
automatically retrieves the list of all existing tags from notmuch
database with 'notmuch list tags' and presents a completion buffer to
the user.
