[PATCH 2/5] emacs: allow notmuch-tag to accept string inputs and prompt for tags

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

notmuch-tag is extended to accept various formats of the tag changes.
In particular, user prompting for tag changes is now incorporated
here, so it is common for modes.

The tag binary and the notmuch-{before,after}-tag-hooks are only
called if tag changes is non-nil.

The actual tag-changes applied are returned by the function.
