Funky. Thank you for that.

The attached patch implements an additional option for
'gnus-auto-select-subject', 'unseen-or-unread'.

As the name suggests, this selects the first unseen article, but, if no
unseen articles exist, the first unread article.

It's probably not the cleanest way of implementing this but it works. :)
