[PATCH v2 3/7] emacs: notmuch.el split call-process into call-process-region

[markwalters1009]

From: Mark Walters <markwalters1009 at gmail.com>

We add a new function notmuch-call-process-region so that functions
can call notmuch with some region sent to stdin. This is preparation
for using the new query from stdin functionality.
