[PATCH] emacs: support limiting the number of results shown in search results

Add support for limiting the maximum number of results initially displayed
in search results. When enabled, the search results will contain push
buttons to double the number of results displayed or to show unlimited
results.
The approach is inspired by vc-print-log in Emacs vc.el.

Rebased since id:"1321560458-32010-1-git-send-email-jani at nikula.org",
and added option to limit results to window height. Limiting does not
work through the 's' key binding in search view, and some of the
issues reported by Austin in id:"20111104205415.GJ22935 at mit.edu" and
Aneesh in id:"87hb1gu643.fsf at linux.vnet.ibm.com" are unfortunately
still there.
If anyone wants to pick this up from here, I'd be delighted. I use
this, but don't have the time to polish. This is just to share the
rebased patch as Aneesh was asking for it on IRC.
