cli: tell how many messages were precisely matched when expected 1 match
In case of notmuch reply and notmuch show --part=N it is required that search terms match to one message. If match count was != 1, error message "Error: search term did not match precisely one message" was too vague to explain what happened. By appending (matched <num> messages) to the error message it makes the problem more understandable (e.g when <num> is '0' user reckons the query had a typo in it).
