[3.8] bpo-37764: Fix infinite loop when parsing unstructured email headers. (GH-15239) (GH-15686)
Fixes a case in which email._header_value_parser.get_unstructured hangs the system for some invalid headers. This covers the cases in which the header contains either:
- a case without trailing whitespace
- an invalid encoded word
