[PATCH v6 0/8] Add refresh all buffers functionality

Version 5 of this set is at
id:1476045223-5238-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009 at gmail.com

The changes from the previous version fix Tomi's comments (give an
error if the refresh function is non-interactive rather than failing
silently, and making the refresh-all-buffers function interactive).

I also added a global keybinding of M-= for the refresh all buffers
function. I can see this being useful if you are away from your
computer for some time, you just press M-= and all your already open
buffers are not up to date. 

We could similarly add M-G for poll and refresh all buffers. Do people
have any thoughts on that? It would be a trivial followup patch.

The interdiff is below (except the added interactive in
notmuch-refresh-all-buffers is missing in the interdiff)

Best wishes

Mark
