notmuch search: Add a new --output=(summary|threads|messages|tags) option.

This can be handy for scripts which need to extract just a thread ID from
a search term, for example.

@ -89,15 +89,6 @@ option (or similar) to "notmuch show".) For now, this is being worked
around in the emacs interface by noticing that "notmuch show" returns
nothing and re-rerunning the command without the extra arguments.
Teach "notmuch search" to return many different kinds of results. Some
ideas:
notmuch search --output=threads # Default if no --output is given
notmuch search --output=messages
notmuch search --output=tags
notmuch search --output=addresses
notmuch search --output=terms
Add a "--format" option to "notmuch search", (something printf-like
for selecting what gets printed).
