[Mutt] #3059: Add pattern to match ranges from matched results.

#3059: Add pattern to match ranges from matched results.

 I would like to propose a new pattern '''~M''' that allows you to select a
 range from matched results.

 This is useful for:


 * Limiting/tagging the first 500 results: '''~M <500 (other
 patterns)'''[[BR]]
 * Limiting/tagging results from the 5th to 10th: '''~M 5-10 (other
 patterns)'''[[BR]]
 * Limiting/tagging by matching the 50th result: '''~M 50 (other
 patterns)'''[[BR]]
 etc.

 I have attached a patch implementing this feature. It works on both 1.5.18
 and the mercurial development branch. I also attempted to add
 documentation regarding this pattern as best as possible.
