mu4e: context policy tweaking

Browse Source 
As discussed in issue #751, mu4e should tried to accommodate some
different ways of choosing the context.

We add a new policy `ask-if-none', that will only query the user if
there is no context yet; this is the new default for
mu4e-context-policy, i.e. what happens when entering the main view.

The default policy for mu4e-compose-context-policy is now `ask',
i.e. ask if none of the contexts match.

The idea is for the defaults to ask when we don't know a context, and we
can't determine one using the match functions; this is probably the
least confusing. When user gets annoyed by too many question, they can
tweak the behavior to their liking. I.e. 'ask questions first, shoot
later'

Document all of this.

contexts match, we have the following choices:
- pick-first: pick the first of the contexts available
- ask: ask the user
- otherwise, return nil. Effectively, this leaves the current context in place.
