I think it should pause at the end of each buffer
in which point was displayed during the search.
This includes the starting buffer, and each
buffer in which an occurrence is found.

However, if search scans a whole buffer (which was not the first) and
finds nothing, it should move on silently to the next buffer.

In other words, once search redisplays with point
in a certain buffer, you should have to type C-s to move
on from there.

    Perhaps, we should add a new user option with 3 possible values:
    1. don't stop in the initial buffer
    2. stop once in the initial buffer
    3. stop in every next buffer

I don't mind having some of those as optional behaviors, but the
default I've described above is none of those three.
