[PATCH] emacs: Respect `load-prefer-newer` when loading `notmuch-init-file'

Before this change, `load-prefer-newer' was ignored.

Set NOERROR and MUST-SUFFIX arguments of `load' to t, and NOSUFFIX
argument to nil, to preserve the behaviour of the deleted `let' form.

I've observed that the way that the code at the end of notmuch.el
loads the user's notmuch-init-file means that the variable
load-prefer-newer is effectively ignored: notmuch.el will always load
notmuch-config.elc in preference to notmuch-config.el, even if the
latter is newer than the former.  This patch should fix the problem
without changing anything else.
