emacs: Add commentary for MELPA users

We have a steady trickle of people using notmuch-emacs from melpa with
distro packages of notmuch, and then being confused when it doesn't
work. Try to warn people what a foot-gun this is; this commentary
should be copied to the melpa web site.

;; Note for MELPA users (and others tracking the development version
;; of notmuch-emacs):
;;
;; This emacs package needs a fairly closely matched version of the
;; notmuch program. If you use the MELPA version of notmuch.el (as
;; opposed to MELPA stable), you should be prepared to track the
;; master development branch (i.e. build from git) for the notmuch
;; program as well. Upgrading notmuch-emacs too far beyond the notmuch
;; program can CAUSE YOUR EMAIL TO STOP WORKING.
;;
;; TL;DR: notmuch-emacs from MELPA and notmuch from distro packages is
;; NOT SUPPORTED.
