[PATCH] emacs/notmuch-wash.el: Add `notmuch-wash-convert-inline-patch-to-part'.

[dme at dme.org]

From: David Edmondson <dme at dme.org>

Detect inline patches and convert them to fake attachments, in order
that `diff-mode' highlighting can be applied to the patch. This can be
enabled by customising `notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook'.
