emacs: Allow the display of absolute dates in the header line.

Add `notmuch-show-relative-dates' to control whether the summary line
in `notmuch-show' mode displays relative dates (e.g. '26 mins. ago') or
the full date string from the message. Default to `t' for
compatibility with the previous behaviour.
