emacs: customizable names for search buffers

Customizable names for buffers presenting search results, via two
custom variables (notmuch-search-buffer-name-format and
notmuch-saved-search-buffer-name-format), defaulting to values
currently used for plain searches and including too tree and
unthreaded search buffers.

Amended by db: spelling fix.
