[PATCH] contrib: pick: close message pane when quitting from show in the message pane

We add a hook to the show buffer in the message window to close the
message window when that buffer quits.  It checks that the
message-window is still displaying the show-message buffer and then
closes it.
---

This is (probably) a rather better version than the previous
attempt. It uses hooks rather than redefining notmuch-kill-this-buffer
and it avoids errors if the user has made the message pane the whole
frame.

Best wishes

Mark
