[PATCH] emacs: create patch filename from subject for inline patch fake parts

Use the mail subject line for creating a descriptive filename for the wash
generated inline patch fake parts. The names are similar to the ones
created by 'git format-patch', just without the leading numbers.

I know notmuch-subject-to-patch-filename is totally un-lispy. Suggestions
welcome on how to make it lispy and keep it somewhat readable.

If we later want to have a '>' counterpart to '|' to save messages to files
rather than pipe, then this could be generalized and re-used for creating
the suggested filename for that.

I don't even use the notmuch-wash-convert-inline-patch-to-part option that
much, but having it suggest "inline patch" as filename is just ugly...
