[PATCH v4] emacs: add completion to "tag all" operation ("*" binding)

[Dmitry Kurochkin]

The patch adds <tab> completion to "tag all" operation bound to "*"
(`notmuch-search-operate-all' function).
---

On a second thought, `notmuch-select-tag-with-completion' should never
need `prefixes' argument at all.  So I reverted the API and related
changes.

Changes:

v4:

* do not change `notmuch-select-tag-with-completion' API, revert
  related changes

v3:

* fixed comments from Austin's review [1]

v2:

* s/thistag/this_tag/ for consistency with "that_tag", since we touch
  the line anyway

Regards,
  Dmitry
