New customizable variable, notmuch-tree-thread-symbols, that allows
tweaking how trees in a forest are represented. For instance, one can
now choose to use an hyphen rather than a white space as a prefix, or
remove pointy arrows.

+The first element is used at the top of the tree, followed by the
+second if it has no children or the third if it does. The fourth
+is a bar connecting with a response down the list skipping the
+current one, while the fifth marks the current message as a reply
+to the previous. The sixth string is used the bottom of the
+thread. Finally, the last one is a pointer to every message.

+Common customizations include setting the first element of the

+empty string or to a different kind of arrow point."
