feat(search): offer the header's fields for searching
The menu lists what is searchable rather than hit-testing which line of a rich-text label was clicked, which breaks as soon as the label wraps. The values are collected by the pass that renders the header, so nothing parses the markup back into structure. From, To and Cc appear only for a single-message thread, sharing the condition with the header's own display: a thread's recipient differs message to message, and the menu must not offer what the header is not stating. The test fixture's Date: header named the wrong weekday, which Qt::RFC2822Date rejects outright, so no date offer would have been produced from it.
