rewrite of the quoted-printable encoder

The current implementation of quoted-printable encoding has several
shortcomings:
-Produces lines longer 76 characters when encoding lines longer than BUFSIZE
-may add an additional linebreak at the end of the text
-does not encode binary lossless, for example because '\0', "\r\n" is not
encoded

The attached patch fixes this in adherance to RFC 2045. Now even binary data
can be transported lossless via quoted-printable encoding.
