[WIP Patch 4/7] emacs: show: mark tags changed since buffer loaded

This allows (and requires) the original-tags to be passed along with
the current-tags to be passed to notmuch-tag-format-tags. This allows
the tag formatting to show added and deleted tags.By default a removed
tag is displayed with strike-through in red (if strike-through is not
available, eg on a terminal, inverse video is used instead) and an
added tag is displayed underlined in green.

If the caller does not wish to use the new feature it can pass
current-tags for both arguments and, at this point, we do exactly that
in the three callers of this function.

Note, we cannot tidily allow original-tags to be optional because we would
need to distinguish nil meaning "we are not specifying original-tags"
from nil meaning there were no original-tags (an empty list).

We use this in subsequent patches to make it clear when a message was
unread when you first loaded a show buffer (previously the unread tag
could be removed before a user realised that it had been unread).

The code adds into the existing tag formatting code. The user can
specify exactly how a tag should be displayed normally, when deleted,
or when added. For convenience an entry for the empty string in the
notmuch-tag-formats (and the corresponding notmuch-tag-deleted-formats
notmuch-tag-added-formats) is applied to all tags which do not have an
explicit match.

This means that a user can tell notmuch not to show deleted tags at
all by setting notmuch-tag-deleted-formats to
'(("" nil))
or not to show any deleted tags except "unread" by setting it to
'(("" nil)
  ("unread" (propertize tag 'face '(strike-through "red"))))

All the variables are customizable; however, more complicated cases
like changing the face depending on the type of display will require
custom lisp.

Currently this overrides notmuch-tag-deleted-formats for the tests
setting it to '(("" nil)) so that they get removed from the display
and, thus, all tests still pass.
