Why I consider this a bug rather than an API change: the API change was
to Message, which didn't used to return Headers unless you added them
yourself. Now it does (for 8bit binary header input), so decode_header
needs to be able to handle them.
The fix is to charset.py, which was not doing the encoding to the
correct output character set when doing a body_encode for either
the shift-jis or euc-jp charsets. There's also a fix for handling
a bytes input in encoders.py.
Patch by Michael Henry, comment changes by me.
When a header was long enough to need to be split across lines, the
input charset name was used instead of the output charset name in
the encoded words. This make a difference only for the two charsets
above.

Fix formatting of values with embedded newlines when rfc2047 encoding
Before this patch if a value being encoded had an embedded newline,
the line following the newline would have no leading whitespace,
and the whitespace it did have was encoded into the word. Now
the existing whitespace gets turned into a blank, the way it does
in other header reformatting, and the _continuation_ws gets added
at the beginning of the encoded line.

#10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.
Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
fixes by me.
I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
stat/lstat system calls involved. I also extended Michal's breakout
of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.

#5871: protect against header injection attacks.
This makes Header.encode throw a HeaderParseError if it winds up
formatting a header such that a continuation line has no leading
whitespace and looks like a header. Since Header accepts values
containing newlines and preserves them (and this is by design), without
this fix any program that took user input (say, a subject in a web form)
and passed it to the email package as a header was vulnerable to header
injection attacks. (As far as we know this has never been exploited.)
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for reporting this vulnerability.

This applies only when generating strings from non-RFC compliant binary
input; it makes the existing recoding behavior more consistent (ie:
now no data is lost when recoding).

Fix a comment typo and update another comment to match Python3 reality
........
The RFC is bit hard to understand on this point, but the examples
clearly show that parameter values that are encoded according
to its charset/language rules don't have surrounding quotes, and
the ABNF does not allow for quotes. So when we produce such
encoded values, we no longer add quotes.

Fix the change made for issue 1243654.
Surprisingly, it turns out there was no test that exercised this code path.
........
Such addresses are not RFC compliant except under the 'obsolete syntax'
rules, but before this fix the whitespace was dropped from the input,
concatenating the pieces. That breaks one of the principles of the
email package, that of preserving the input as much as possible.
It also denies the application program the opportunity to apply its
own heuristics to interpretation of such non-compliant addresses.
It is possible users of the email package were depending on the local
part always being a single token, so this fix will not be backported.

The rearranged code should do exactly what the old code did, but
the new code avoids a potentially costly re computation in the case
where a boundary already exists.
The tests that were failing on (some) windows machines, where the
msg_XX.txt files used native \r\n lineseps are now also run on machines
that use \n natively, and conversely the \n tests are run on Windows.
The failing tests revealed one place where linesep needed to be added
to a flatten call in generator. There was also another that the tests
didn't catch, so I added a test for that case as well.
The work on this is not 100% complete, but everything is present to
allow real-world testing of the code. The only remaining major todo
item is to (hopefully!) enhance the handling of non-ASCII bytes in headers
converted to unicode by RFC2047 encoding them rather than replacing them with
'?'s.

#3196: if needed pad a short base64 encoded word before trying to decode.
The RFCs encourage following Postel's law: be liberal in what you accept.
So if someone forgot to pad the base64 encoded word payload to an
even four bytes, we add the padding before handing it to base64mime.decode.
Previously, missing padding resulted in a HeaderParseError.
