[PATCH v3] emacs: Report a lack of matches when calling `notmuch-show'.

If the basic query passed to `notmuch-show' generates no results, ring
the bell and inform the user that no messages matched the query rather
than displaying an empty buffer and showing an obscure error.
Similarly when refreshing a `notmuch-show' buffer and no messages match.
