[Andrew G Cohen]

branch: feature/gnus-select2
commit 924a4201d24c10c48db920815ebf98dfaadc1e85
Author: Andrew G Cohen <address@hidden>
Commit: Andrew G Cohen <address@hidden>

    Allow gnus backends to return a list of headers
    
    * lisp/gnus/nnselect.el (nnselect-add-novitem): New macro.
    
      (nnselect-retrieve-headers): Allow backends to return headers as a
      list. Return this list rather than re-populating the server buffer
      with 'nov format headers.
    
    * lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus-fetch-headers): Allow backends to return
      headers as a list. Make sure the dependencies structure is updated.
