[PATCH v2] emacs: `notmuch-show-buttonize-links' only `notmuch-show's a message if it exists

[Pieter Praet]

* emacs/notmuch-show.el (notmuch-show-found-target-p): new predicate function
  that uses notmuch(1) 'count' to see if a query turns up any results.

* emacs/notmuch-show.el (notmuch-show-if-found): new function that only shows
  a message/thread if present in the database and otherwise returns an error.

* emacs/notmuch-show.el (notmuch-show-buttonize-links): some deduplication,
  and use new function `notmuch-show-if-found' instead of `notmuch-show'
  to prevent showing a blank screen for Message-Id's which aren't present
  in the database.

---

v2:  (corrections by David Edmondson [1])

 - `notmuch-show-found-target-p' : removed useless `substring'.
 - `notmuch-show-if-found' : remove redundant `format'.

... and added a missing closing paren due to badly splitting up the
original commit.
