[PATCH v2 3/3] emacs: show: implement lazy hidden part handling

[Mark Walters]

This adds the actual code to do the lazy insertion of hidden parts.

We use a memory inefficient but simple method: when we come to insert
the part if it is hidden we just store all of the arguments to the
part insertion function as a button property. This means when we want
to show the part we can just resume where we left off.

The only slight subtlety/hack is that to simplify the handling of the
invisibility overlay (for the hiding unhiding later) we do insert some
dummy text which we remove when we show the part.
