emacs: Fix to unconditionally display subject changes in collapsed thread view
The feature to show subject changes in the collapsed thread view was originally added (8ab433607) with an option (notmuch-show-always-show-subject) to display the subject for all messages, even when there was no change. The subsequent commit (4f04d273) changed the sense of the test (or to and) and the name of the controlling variable (notmuch-show-elide-same-subject). But this commit is broken in a few ways: 1. The original definition of notmuch-show-always-show-subject was left around But the variable isn't actually used in the code at all, so it just adds clutter and confusion to the customization interface. 2. The name and description of the controlling variable doesn't match the implementation The name suggests that setting the variable to t will cause repeated subjects to be elided, (suggesting that when it is nil all subjects will be shown). However, when the variable is nil, no subjects are shown. So a correct name for the variable in this sense would be notmuch-show-subject-changes. Showing subject changes is a useful feature, and should be on by default. (We don't want to bury generally useful features behind customizations that users have to find). Rather than fixing the name of the variable and changing its default value, here we remove the condition entirely, such that the feature is enabled unconditionally. So both the currently-used variable and the stale definition of the formerly-used are removed. Also, the one relevant test-suite result is updated, (showing the intial subject of a collapsed thread, and no subject display for later messages that do not change the subject). (cherry picked from commit 580de27177de5cd6c5cbc9cc3759ce320216dd5b)
