Jeff King a1f6baa5c9 format-patch: wrap long header lines ...

Subject and identity headers may be arbitrarily long. In the
past, we just assumed that single-line headers would be
reasonably short. For multi-line subjects that we squish
into a single line, we just "pre-folded" the data in
pp_title_line by adding a newline and indentation.

There were two problems. One is that, although rare,
single-line messages can actually be longer than the
recommended line-length limits. The second is that the
pre-folding interacted badly with rfc2047 encoding, leading
to malformed headers.

Instead, let's stop pre-folding the subject lines, and just
fold everything based on length in add_rfc2047, whether
it is encoded or not.
