Subject: piem-lei-query-thread: Drop repeated subjects

public-inbox's web interface suppresses a message's subject when it
matches the previous lines [*].  Teach piem-lei-query-thread to do the
same to make it easier to spot subject shifts and identify subthreads.

[*] notmuch-tree-mode does similar, displaying "..." instead.
