Subject: [PATCH] notmuch show: Update documentation for default --format=raw
 for --part

We recently made the --part option to "notmuch show" trigger a default
format of "raw", (since the previous default of "text" is not often
useful with a single part---especially a non-text part).

Here, we update the documentation to match.
