Fix storing email into nnmail by Gnus

Backporting suggested by Florian Weimer, since this is
a denial-of-service issue.
* lisp/gnus/nnml.el (nnml--encode-headers): Wrap
'rfc2047-encode-string' calls with 'ignore-errors', to avoid
disrupting email workflows due to possibly-invalid headers.
Reported by Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>.
