In previous changes, we've turned on warning for quoted CR in base64 or quoted-printable email messages. Some projects sees those quoted CR a lot and they know that it happens most of the time.

Those projects in question usually fall back to use other tools to handle patches when receiving such patches.

Let's help those projects handle those patches by stripping those excessive CR-s.
