trailer: support values folded to multiple lines
Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line.
For example:
a: first line
second line
would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.
Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those
lines as one logical trailer.
