#1097 for Mail 2.5

Validate addresses passed as SMTP command arguments to prevent
injection of other SMTP commands. Disallow line breaks and very
long addresses which may cause overflows on some old SMTP servers.

Ruby 2.4 Net::SMTP already disallows addresses that contain newlines.
Enforce this validation in Mail to cover older Ruby versions and
other SMTP implementations that don't validate input.
