81d3bd3670 Rename "notmuch cat" to "notmuch show --format=raw"
This is part of an effort to avoid proliferation of excessive
top-level notmuch commands. Also, "raw" better captures the
functionality here, (as opposed to "cat" which is a fairly oblique
reference to a bad Unix abbreviation whose metaphor doesn't work here
since "notmuch cat" operates only on a single message and hence cannot
"con'cat'enate" anything).

d39d0e55f0 Add 'cat' subcommand
This command outputs a raw message matched by search term to the
standard output. It allows MUAs to access the messages for piping,
attachment manipulation, etc. by running notmuch cat rather then
directly access the file. This will simplify the MUAs when they need
to operate on a remote database.

Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Remove trailing whitespace,
add missing "test_done" to new test script to avoid "Unexpected exit"
error.
