    #15160: Extend the new email parser to handle MIME headers. · 97f43c01
    R David Murray yazdı
    This code passes all the same tests that the existing RFC mime header
    parser passes, plus a bunch of additional ones.
    
    There are a couple of commented out tests where there are issues with the
    folding.  The folding doesn't normally get invoked for headers parsed from
    source, and the cases are marginal anyway (headers with invalid binary data)
    so I'm not worried about them, but will fix them after the beta.
    
    There are things that can be done to make this API even more convenient, but I
    think this is a solid foundation worth having.  And the parser is a full RFC
    parser, so it handles cases that the current parser doesn't.  (There are also
    probably cases where it fails when the current parser doesn't, but I haven't
    found them yet ;)
    
    Oh, yeah, and there are some really ugly bits in the parser for handling some
    'postel' cases that are unfortunately common.
    
    I hope/plan to to eventually refactor a lot of the code in the parser which
    should reduce the line count...but there is no escaping the fact that the
    error recovery is welter of special cases.
