[PATCH v7 1/8] emacs: Rework crypto switch toggle.

Seems reasonable.  I'm definitely in favor of erasing buffers instead
of killing and recreating them.  Two questions below.

Do these need to be permanent-local given that refreshing is now done
by erasing the buffer instead of killing it?

Why is the piping of notmuch-show-process-crypto no longer necessary?
It's still buffer-local, and hence will be nil in the temp buffer.
