Makefile: Fix dependency generation for files in sub-directories.

Otherwise, things in the lib sub-directory weren't getting recompiled
even when lib/notmuch.h was changed.

The original rule we were using came from the GNU Makefile manual, but
only handled files in the current directory, not file in
sub-directories as we use here with our non-recursive Makefile.

So the .deps files being created were being put in the right place,
(such as .deps/lib/database.d), but the compiler was generating a
dependency for "database.o" rather than "lib/database.o" like we
want. We were already trying to do a sed job on that name to add a
dependency for the .d file as well. But the sed job was failing since
the expected pattern wasn't there, (the directory name was missing).

So the fix is simply to use basename to construct the search pattern,
and then use the name with the directory in the replacement (rather
than the back-reference).

Note that we don't print the number of *unread* messages, but instead
the number of messages that matched the search terms. This is in
keeping with our philosophy that the inbox is nothing more than a
search view. If we search for messages with an inbox tag, then that's
what we'll get a count of. (And if somebody does want to see unread
counts, then they can search for the "unread" tag.)

notmuch.el: Make magic space bar advance to next unread messages.

The magic of the space bar is all about unread messages, so there's no
reason for it to advance to messages that have already been read.

Similarly, we now remove any magic from (n)ext so that it simply
advances to the next message without marking anything read, (which
makes it symmetrical with (p)revious).

We need an easier way to detect when we're done with the last message
so taking advantage of the end-of-buffer position helps here.

notmuch-search results rather than continually displaying the last
thread over and over.

bar triggers an archive of the current thread, it switches to the parent
search buffer and shows the next thread.

command to remove a tag that's not there already.

read as it is left.

It doesn't yet complete the magic by archiving the messages nor by
advancing to the next thread in the search.

point only to the beginning of the current message. Previously this
would go back to the previous message, (which the user can now do
easily and naturally by simply executing the command one more time).

This is built on a much more solid foundation now with a function to
