Continuation/follow-up for: GHSA-m5ff-3wj3-8ph4 which showcased the initial problem with the way that waitress was dealing with whitespace in headers. Additional testing by ZeddYu Lu also led to other potential issues with non-printable ascii characters that are stripped by default by Python's string.strip() function

This is a follow-up to existing security issue: GHSA-m5ff-3wj3-8ph4
This makes sure that we don't accidentally strip more than we should from a header value before comparison which could have opened Waitress up to treating the request different from a potential front-end.
While here, tighten up the RFC7230 regex I wrote to match the errata that was published.
