Subject: [PATCH] emacs: Combine notmuch-combine-face-text-property{, -string}

This combines our two face combining functions into one, easy to use
function with a much shorter name: `notmuch-apply-face'.  This
function takes the full set of arguments that
`notmuch-combine-face-text-property' took, but takes them in a more
convenient order and provides smarter defaults that make the function
easy to use on both strings and buffers.
