Customizable names for buffers presenting search results, via two
custom variables (notmuch-search-buffer-name-format and
notmuch-saved-search-buffer-name-format), defaulting to values
currently used for plain searches and including too tree and
unthreaded search buffers.

This is a much improved version of the patch in
id:20220108204121.1053932-1-...@gnu.org, according to discussion on
that thread.
This version includes documentation in notmuch-emacs.rst for the new
customizable variables (id:87v8yafe1a@tethera.net).
