I agree that it's sort of nice to be able to paste the result directly
on the command line, but I think it's really not that big of a deal to
just type "id:" before pasting on the command line.  I think that the
argument of consistency and the confusion it causes in non-notmuch
contexts makes it a stronger argument to remove the search term prefix.

My patch follows.  If anyone has any really vehement objection please
raise them, but ultimately I think this makes things cleaner and less
likely to cause problems in the long run.
