Fix potential memory leak in rfc2047_encode. (closes #3825)
If convert_string() has nonreversible characters, the allocated output
buffer would be overwritten (and not freed) in rfc2047_encode().
Thanks to Richard Russon for the bug report and initial patch, and to
TAKAHASHI Tamotsu for the analysis and revised fix suggestion.
