[issue12586] Provisional new email API: new policy implementing custom header objects

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

As mentioned on python-dev, I'm planning to introduce the new header parsing/folding code as a provisional API in the spirit if not quite the letter of PEP 411.  Issue 14731 is a pre-requisite for this issue, since this patch builds on to of that one.

This patch is almost entirely additions.  At a later stage I can probably remove some of the older code, but the bulk of the backward compatibility stuff may have to remain around until Python4.
