Rob noticed that generating extra output on stderr from the notmuch cli
breaks some things in notmuch-emacs (in his case this was from a wrapper
script).
notmuch-search seems fairly robust at this point, but at least
notmuch-hello and notmuch-mua-mail get confused by the extra
output. I guess this is because of code calling #'call-process without
specifying something to do with stderr.
I don't know how often this is problem, but I guess it would be nice to
eventually only call notmuch using make-process (for recent enough
emacs). This allows cleaner handling of stderr.

for Older emacses the following code snippet could be utilized
(originally a13b38824 (Austin Clements 2013-05-31)):
(proc (apply #'start-process name buffer
"/bin/sh" "-c"
"exec 2>\"$1\"; shift; exec \"$0\" \"$@\""
command err-file args))
But if we dropped support for emacs 24 (NEWS.25 mentioned make-process)
then we could use make-process everywhere :D

I'm OK with deprecating support for emacs24 in the next release, and
considering that the medium term plan for dealing with this issue.
