[PATCH 3/3] emacs: notmuch-search: add filesize sorting

Besides the previous date-based result orderings (oldest-first and
newest-first) add two more filesize-based orderings: biggest-first
smallest-first.

The orderings are interchangeable, you can specify any one as the
default via notmuch-search-default-sort-order or as the preffered
ordering for a saved search (via the :sort-order property).

The only restriction I've imposed is that you can't toggle from a
date-based result ordering to a filesize-based one. Meaning you can
toggle as before from oldest-first to newest-first or from the new
smallest-first to biggest-first and viceversa, but you can't toggle
from oldest-first to biggest-first. I've found this kind of toggling
confusing so I've prohibited it, but enabling it is trivial if need be.
