[PATCH] Restore original keybinding ('r' = reply-to-all)

Since the beginning of time, the emacs interface provided a keybinding
of 'r' to reply to a message, (and originally, all recipients).

Then, before release 0.12 the emacs interface acquired a new
reply-to-sender only feature. In commit
f02b475fa781bb5df3358c73213e7633a99f016e the new feature was put onto
the original keybinding, (and reply-to-all was moved to 'R').

This restores the original keybinding and uses the new keybinding for
the new feature.
---

The commit message above motivates this change from the point of view
of interface compatibility. That argument would have been stronger if
I had made it in January, (at the time of the change), rather than
now, (since there's now a new incompatiblity made by changing things
back).

That said, I still think the compatibility argument is sound.

I have other feelings as to which reply behavior should be treated
preferentially. But those are potentially more controversial, so I'll
leave the bikeshedding out of our commit history.

Thanks to everyone keeping notmuch alive and well during my extended
absence from maintainership. What a tremendous free-software success
story this all is. I'm so grateful to all of you.
