We've arrived here via some unfortunate phrasing in the manual, and the recent
introduction of support for multiple headers_add (etc) options.

The cleanest fix will involve a change of specification:
- items in a headers_add or _remove list will be individually expanded
- null items will always be stripped

This my affect a few corner-case uses. The ones that come to mind are:
- Abusing headers_add with embedded newlines as a way of prepending body
content will no longer work
- Headers_remove lists having items with colons in will now need them doubled
(apparently they previously did not)
