mktag tests: stress test whitespace handling

Add tests for a couple of whitespace edge cases around the header/body
boundary.

I consider the requirement for a blank line before the empty body a
bug, it's a long-standing regression which goes against the command's
documented behavior. This bug will be addressed in a follow-up change.
