[PATCH v2] emacs: Improve the behaviour of the 'q' binding.

[David Edmondson]

emacs: Improve the behaviour of the 'q' binding.

When a user hits 'q' in a notmuch buffer, kill the buffer only if
there are no other windows currently showing it.

v2:
- Change the name of `notmuch-kill-this-buffer' to be clearer.
