[PATCH 2/6] doc/emacs: add docstring and example for n-search-result-format

[David Bremner <david@tethera.net>]

When the ability to use functions was added, this example was confined
to a commit message, which is not user discoverable.

-    Control how each thread of messages is presented in the
-    ``notmuch-show-mode`` buffer
+   |docstring::notmuch-search-result-format|
+
+   If the car of an element in notmuch-search-result-format is a
+   function, insert the result of calling the function into the buffer.
+
+   This allows a user to generate custom fields in the output of a
+   search result. For example, with the following settings, the first
+   few characters on each line of the search result are used to show
+   information about some significant tags associated with the thread.
