[issue12553] email should default to 8bit CTE unless policy.must_be_7bit is set

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

Most MTA/MTUs these days can handle 8bit just fine.  I think that the CTE for MIMEText parts should default to 8bit unless policy.must_be_7bit is set.  This will require adding support for this CTE to Charset.  The Policy docs imply that this is already the case, but it is not true for MIMEText objects.
