notmuch show: Update documentation for default --format=raw for --part

We recently made the --part option to "notmuch show" trigger a default
format of "raw", (since the previous default of "text" is not often
useful with a single part---especially a non-text part).

Here, we update the documentation to match.

Consumers of this format should expect to implement MIME decoding and

For a message, the original, raw content of the email message is
output. Consumers of this format should expect to implement MIME
decoding and similar functions.
For a single part (\-\-part) the raw part content is output after
performing any necessary MIME decoding.
The raw format must only be used with search terms matching single
