NEWS: document possible breakage from saved-search format change

If the user has unsorted or alphabetically sorted saved-searches these
should continue to work. If they have some custom lisp sort function
then it will need updating to work with the new saved-sort
format. Document this, and how the updating should be done.

Also roll in fixes for the markdown in the first part of the NEWS
suggested by Tomi: change `just work' to *just work* and removed
periods from the end of subtitle lines.

Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them.
If you have a custom saved search sort function (not unsorted or
alphabetical) then the sort function will need to be
modified. Replacing (car saved-search) by (notmuch-saved-search-get
saved-search :name) and (cdr saved-search) by
(notmuch-saved-search-get saved-search :query) should be sufficient.
Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them
Split lines confuse `notmuch count --batch`, so we remove embedded
newlines before calling notmuch count.
