[PATCH] VIM: Add better attachment support

Ian Main imain at stemwinder.org

This patch changes how the notmuch vim client supports attachments:

- For each message part a 'Part <number>: <filename>' is added
  to the header.
- You can then use 'e' to extract the attachment under the cursor
  or use it elsewhere to extract all attachments (the prior behavior)
- You can use 'v' to 'view' the attachment/part using xdg-open by default.
- If the message is 'text/html' we include a 'Part:' for the body of the
  message so you can easily view it in a web browser if you so choose.
