[PATCH v3] emacs: Allow part preferences to depend on message content.

Currently the preference for which sub-part of a multipart/alternative
part is shown is global. Allow to the user to override the settings on a
per-message basis by providing the ability to call a function that has
access to the message to return the discouraged type list.

The original approach is retained as the default.
