[PATCH WIP v3 0/3] emacs: show: change the unread handling

This is the next iteration of this WIP patch series. v2 was at
id:1385892147-16994-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009 at gmail.com

I would just like to emphasise that *all* feedback is appreciated
including "I HATE IT" etc. 

I have followed Jani's suggestion and removed the delayed updates to
unread status: it makes it harder to see if the heuristics are doing
what you want.

The first patch is completely new: it makes all tag changes in a
buffer (in particular the unread tag) clearly visible to the user: a
deleted tag is displayed with red strike-through and an added tag is
displayed underlined in green.  (This may have strange interactions with
notmuch-tag-formats in some cases.)

This makes the visual feedback when a message is marked unread very
clear: the unread tag is struck-through.

As always with the previous series lots of tests will fail for the
obvious reason that marking read is done differently and displayed
differently.

Best wishes

Mark
