[PATCH v2 1/2] 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'.

If the user has notmuch-wash-convert-inline-patch-to-part hook enabled in
notmuch-show-insert-text/plain-hook, this will change the old default
filename of "inline patch":

[ inline patch: text/x-diff ]

into, for example:

[ 0001-emacs-create-patch-filename-from-subject-for-inline.patch: text/x-diff ]

which is typically the same filename the sender had if he was using 'git
format-patch' and 'git send-email'.
