Change the buffer name to a uniquified subject of the thread (i.e. the
subject of the first message in the thread) instead of the thread-id. This
is more meaningful to the user, and will make it easier to scroll through
numerous open buffers.
Note that this patch adds an optionsal `buffer-name' argument to notmuch
show.
This version of the patch improves on the first version by ensuring that
the buffer names are unique, and that the `notmuch-show' command can
still be used interactively.
