libhtml-form-perl: t/form.t fails with HTTP::Message 7.00

[gregoa]

We have the following bug reported to the Debian package of
HTML-Form, c.f. https://bugs.debian.org/1084899

It doesn't seem to be a bug in the packaging, so you may want to take
a look. Thanks!

Source: libhtml-form-perl
Version: 6.11-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source

After upgrading HTTP::Message to 7.00, we see the following test
failure, probably caused by
https://github.com/libwww-perl/HTTP-Message/commit/968789db338f0c4f4756573614d26e4757d56deb

Culprit is libwww-perl/HTTP-Message#196

Based on the HTML and URL specs, CRLF normalization is part of the HTML spec, not the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. So I believe the change in HTTP-Message is correct, and HTML-Form's tests are correct, but the module needs to be updated to do the CRLF normalization that was previously happening in HTTP-Message.
