This is a dispatch function from the search view that if a thread is
small, it shows it with `notmuch-search-show-thread`, and if it's big,
it shows it with `notmuch-search-show-or-unthread`.
On my own machine I've bound it to `RET` and to `<mouse-1>` in the
notmuch-search-mode-map, but that binding isn't part of this patch.
It shells out to notmuch count to see if the thread is big or small.
"Big" is hardcoded to ten messages or lower, if we want to introduce a
variable for that instead, that might be great.
It's a deliberate choice to count all the messages in the thread, not
just ones that are part of the search (a.k.a. the ones that will show
up in the unthreaded view if the thread is big). The reason for that
is that that's the number that matters when it comes to how well
`notmuch-search-show-thread` can handle it. That's by design. So if
there's a thread with 100000 messages and four of them show up in the
search (maybe because they have a particular tag or date), it'll see
that the thread is big and "explode" it and then show those four new
messages in a flat view.
