Message attachment reminder for Emacs

Warns the user if they try and send an email without an attachment when they body text contains language that suggests an attachment should be present. Uses message-send-hook and so is compatible with mu4e and gnus and other email interfaces for Emacs.

This is based off the past work of others but has been cleaned up and made into a dedicated package.
