[PATCH v3 2/3] emacs: defconst notmuch-emacs-version to a value during byte compilation

[Tomi Ollila]

The notmuch cli program and emacs lisp versions may differ. For now
we can help users with their emacs client problems better if we can
ask what version of emacs MUA they are running. In the future we can
put the emacs MUA version to User-Agent: string in outgoing mail.
