[PATCH 2/2] emacs: add defcustom notmuch-init-file and load it if exists

This looks good, but I haven't tested as it doesn't fit with my current
setup. (Just to clarify my current setup still works, but it would be a
moderate amount of effort to actually exercise the new code)

One question: is it possible to get emacs to save notmuch customizations
to the notmuch init file rather than to .emacs? I think it isn't but
thought it worth checking in case.

Best wishes

Mark
