Apply path encoding to open_stream()

ClientImpl::open_stream() passed the caller-supplied path straight to the
request line, so it ignored path_encode_ entirely and always behaved as if
set_path_encode(false) had been called. The same path therefore produced
different bytes on the wire depending on which API was used:

  Get()          "/a b"  ->  GET /a%20b HTTP/1.1
  open_stream()  "/a b"  ->  GET /a b HTTP/1.1

A space is the request-target delimiter, so the streaming form is not merely
inconsistent: an RFC 9112 conformant server reads the target as "/a" and the
version as "b". Non-ASCII bytes and '+' diverged the same way, the latter
changing the value a server that decodes '+' as space sees.

Extract the path/query splitting and encoding out of ClientImpl::write_request
into detail::encode_request_target() and call it from both paths, so the
encoding rule lives in one place. open_stream() appends Params before
encoding, matching ClientImpl::Get(path, params), which builds its target the
same way.

Note a behavior change: with path encoding enabled, CR/LF in the target is now
percent-encoded and sent rather than rejected with Error::Write, matching
Get(). This is not a weakening of the CR/LF guard in write_request_line() --
that check is independent of path_encode_ and still backstops
set_path_encode(false), where encode_path() does nothing.
