fix: sanitise untrusted contact names on insertion
A vCard FN is untrusted and ContactStore faithfully decodes `\n` to a real newline, so `Evil\nBcc: x` was inserted raw into a recipient field and flowed through splitRecipients() to MessageBuilder. contactInsertionText() only quoted a name carrying a comma or a double quote, so every other RFC 5322 special (<, >, ;, @) and any control character reached the header unguarded. The name now has control characters and whitespace runs replaced by single spaces, and every non-empty name is quoted, with `\` escaped before `"`. Quoting contains all the specials in one step. The parser is left faithful; this is fixed at the consumer/trust boundary. Tests: a name with a decoded newline inserts no control character and yields one recipient; a name with <, >, ;, @ is quoted and yields one recipient. The three tests that expected an unquoted plain name now expect the quoted form.
