[PATCH v2 2/7] format-patch: do not wrap non-rfc2047 headers too early

From: Jan H. Schönherr <schnhrr@cs.tu-berlin.de>

Do not wrap the second and later lines of non-rfc2047-encoded headers substantially before the 78 character limit.

Instead of passing the remaining length of the first line as wrapping width, use the correct maximum length and tell strbuf_add_wrapped_bytes() how many characters of the first line are already used.
