Log Message:
Message listings: convert header fields before formatting them

A message-listing line reserves its name columns in bytes: the stock MailOnSystemLstFmt and SubMsgLstFmt are "%-22.22s". When a from, to or
subject field holds non-ASCII text those two counts diverge -- the field
is 22 bytes but fewer than 22 screen columns -- and every column to its
right slides left by the difference.

bprintf() formats first and converts the character set afterwards, in
bputs(), so the conversion cannot inform the field widths. Hand the
listing call sites fields that are already in the terminal's character
set: on a CP437, ASCII or PETSCII terminal one byte is then one column
and the existing format strings measure exactly what they display. This
also removes the mid-sequence truncation the byte-counted precision
could inflict, which rendered an orphaned byte as a garbage glyph and
logged "Invalid UTF-8 sequence" once per listed message.

The ten call sites in readmail.cpp and readmsgs.cpp share one helper, list_msg(), which converts the fields, selects the format string in the matching character set, and sets P_UTF8 only for a terminal that can
take it. Anonymity moves into a parameter so text[Anonymous] keeps
bypassing conversion.

msghdr_field() gains an overload taking the destination size. The
existing one always copied sizeof(msgghdr_field_cp437_str) - 1 bytes
regardless of the buffer it was handed, so a caller-supplied buffer had
to happen to be at least that large; it now delegates. The sized form
copies with utf8_strlcpy() so a truncated copy cannot end part-way
through a multi-byte sequence.

Terminals that speak UTF-8 are still misaligned here; the field widths
reaching printf are still counted in bytes for them.
