#18044: Fix parsing of encoded words of the form =?utf8?q?=XX...?=

The problem was I was only checking for decimal digits after the third '?',
not for *hex* digits :(.

This changeset also fixes a couple of comment typos, deletes an unused
function relating to encoded word parsing, and removed an invalid
'if' test from the folding function that was revealed by the tests
written to validate this issue.
