Wez Furlong 67bf14ca20 improve header wrapping functions
Augment the docs to clarify that msg:append_header and
msg:prepend_header do no modification of the value by default.

Adjust the wrapping used by Header:new_unstructured so that it
hard wraps before the SMTP line length limit.

Add optional encode parameter to msg:append_header and
msg:prepend_header so that those methods can opt-in to the
Header:new_unstructured formatting.

Add HeaderMap:append method to mirror the existing HeaderMap:prepend
method.

Add unit tests that demonstrate the effect of wrapping/encoding
for both the "dumb" msg:append_header and msg:prepend_header functions,
and the "smarter" HeaderMap:prepend and HeaderMap:append methods that
always encode their parameters.

Update the docs for the headermap flavor of these methods to indicate
that they will always encode the value.

# prepend
```lua
headers:prepend(NAME, VALUE)
```
{{since('2025.10.06-5ec871ab')}}
Constructs a new header with `NAME` and `VALUE` and prepends it to the header map.
If the header value is ascii then it will be soft wrapped at whitespace around
75 columns, and hard-wrapped regardless of whitespace at 900 columns.
If the header value is non-ascii then it will be quoted printable encoded using
RFC 2047 header encoding.
```lua
headers:prepend('X-Something', 'Some value')
```
