Respect quoted-strings when splitting header parameters (Fix #2568) (#2573)

parse_disposition_params() and extract_media_type() both split on every
';' and then on every '=', with no idea that a parameter value can be a
quoted-string. RFC 9110 5.6.6 allows ';' and '=' inside one, so
filename="report=v2.pdf" came out as v2.pdf", and filename="a;b.txt" was
truncated at the semicolon and left a bogus parameter behind.

The same defect reached the boundary. RFC 2046 5.1.1 allows '=' in a
boundary, which forces a sender to quote it, so the common MIME form
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0000_01D9" parsed as
_NextPart_000_0000_01D9".

Add split_unquoted(), which is split() with the one extra rule that a
delimiter inside a quoted-string is not a delimiter, and route both
parameter parsers through it. The key/value split, duplicated verbatim
in the two of them, moves into divide_param_pair(). That one divides at
the first '=' without tracking quotes: 5.6.6 makes the key a token, so
no quote can precede the separator, and reusing divide() keeps this off
the per-byte scan.

A backslash stays an ordinary character here. Both browsers and
httplib's own sender percent-encode '"' rather than escaping it, and
recognizing a quoted-pair without also unescaping it would just trade
one wrong value for another.
