This adds the actual code to do the lazy insertion of hidden parts.
We use a memory inefficient but simple method: when we come to insert
the part if it is hidden we just store all of the arguments to the
part insertion function as a button property. This means when we want
to show the part we can just resume where we left off.
One thing is that we can't tell if a lazy part will produce text until
we try to render it so when unhiding a part we check to see if it
rendered; if not we invoke the default part handler (e.g. an external
viewer).
Also, we would like to insert the lazy part at the start of the line
after the part button. But if this line has some text properties
(e.g. the colours for a following message header) then the lazy part
gets these properties. Thus we start at the end of the part button
line, insert a newline, insert the lazy part, and then delete the
extra newline at the end of the part.

we let the text/plain handler applies notmuch-wash to the whole part

emacs: Fix "no such file or directory" error
Occasionally, when the user killed the search buffer when the CLI
process was still running, Emacs would run the
notmuch-start-notmuch-sentinel sentinel twice. The first call would
process and delete the error output file and the second would fail
with an "Opening input file: no such file or directory, ..." error
when attempting to access the error file.
Emacs isn't supposed to run the sentinel twice. The reason it does is
rather subtle (and probably a bug in Emacs):
1) When the user kills the search buffer, Emacs invokes
kill_buffer_processes, which sends a SIGHUP to notmuch, but doesn't do
anything else. Meanwhile, suppose the notmuch search process has
printed some more output, but Emacs hasn't consumed it yet (this is
critical and is why this error only happens sometimes).
2) Emacs gets a SIGCHLD from the dying notmuch process, which invokes
handle_child_signal, which sets the new process status, but can't do
anything else because it's a signal handler.
3) Emacs returns to its idle loop, which calls status_notify, which
sees that the notmuch process has a new status. This is where things
get interesting.
3.1) Emacs guarantees that it will run process filters on any
unconsumed output before running the process sentinel, so
status_notify calls read_process_output, which consumes the final
output and calls notmuch-search-process-filter.
3.1.1) notmuch-search-process-filter checks if the search buffer is
still alive and, since it's not, it calls delete-process.
3.1.1.1) delete-process correctly sees that the process is already
dead and doesn't try to send another signal, *but* it still modifies
the status to "killed". To deal with the new status, it calls
status_notify. Dun dun dun. We've seen this function before.
3.1.1.1.1) The *recursive* status_notify invocation sees that the
process has a new status and doesn't have any more output to consume,
so it invokes our sentinel and returns.
3.2) The outer status_notify call (which we're still in) is now done
flushing pending process output, so it *also* invokes our sentinel.
This patch addresses this problem at step 3.1.1, where the filter
calls delete-process, since this is a strange and redundant thing to
do anyway.

active syntax table and the subtleties of $. We didn't notice this
because all notmuch major modes put ?\n in the whitespace class, which
makes this behaved as intended: the "\\s " matches all newlines, but
by matching the newline character, causes the $ *not* to match
*except* where it matched the empty string at the very end of the
string, which was not followed by a newline.
However, if the syntax table declares ?\n to be non-whitespace
(lisp-mode declares it as endcomment, and is likely to be the mode
you're in when testing functions), then this regexp behaves completely
differently, matching trailing spaces at the end of every line within
the string.
The solution is to say what we mean for whitespace *and* to switch
from $ to \', which matches only the end of the string, rather than
the end of each line. Both are necessary or this will strip away
interior newlines, which is not what we want.
