This code passes all the same tests that the existing RFC mime header
parser passes, plus a bunch of additional ones.
There are a couple of commented out tests where there are issues with the
folding. The folding doesn't normally get invoked for headers parsed from
source, and the cases are marginal anyway (headers with invalid binary data)
so I'm not worried about them, but will fix them after the beta.
There are things that can be done to make this API even more convenient, but I
think this is a solid foundation worth having. And the parser is a full RFC
parser, so it handles cases that the current parser doesn't. (There are also
probably cases where it fails when the current parser doesn't, but I haven't
found them yet ;)
Oh, yeah, and there are some really ugly bits in the parser for handling some
'postel' cases that are unfortunately common.
I hope/plan to to eventually refactor a lot of the code in the parser which
should reduce the line count...but there is no escaping the fact that the
error recovery is welter of special cases.

When I made the checkin of the provisional email policy, I knew that
Address and Group needed to be made accessible from somewhere. The more
I looked at it, though, the more it became clear that since this is a
provisional API anyway, there's no good reason to hide headerregistry as
a private API. It was designed to ultimately be part of the public API,
and so it should be part of the provisional API.
This patch fully documents the headerregistry API, and deletes the
abbreviated version of those docs I had added to the provisional policy
docs.
