1. Decode headers as latin1/UTF-8, show real reason phrase …

   External changes:
   
   - We now print the actual reason phrase sent by the server instead
     of guessing it from the status code. That is, if servers reply with
     "200 Wonderful" instead of "200 OK" then we show that. This is
     especially useful for status codes that xh doesn't recognize.
   
   - Header values are now decoded as latin1, with the UTF-8 decoding
     also shown if applicable.
   
   - A new FAQ file with an entry that explains header value encoding.
     Header output now hyperlinks to this entry when relevant and if
     supported by the terminal.
   
   Under the hood we now color headers manually. It's still hooked up to
   the `.tmTheme` files but not to the `.sublime-syntax` file. This lets
   us highlight the latin1 header values differently. In the future we
   could use the same approach to optimize JSON highlighting.
   
   I'm unsure about the position of the hyperlink. Currently it's the
   text "UTF-8" in `<latin1 value> (UTF-8: <utf-8 value>)`. But that
   means it's only shown if the value can be decoded as UTF-8. An
   alternative is to turn the latin1 value itself into a hyperlink, but
   that's confusing if the value itself is already a URL (which is a
   common case for the `Location` header).
   
   I also don't feel that our text is quite distinct enough from the
   header value in the default `ansi` theme. Though the hyperlink does
   help to set it apart.
