#2343 proposal: Display Strings

As discussed in Yokohama, our final issue on Structured Fields bis is #2343, regarding support for non-ASCII strings.

The sense in the room was that we would let the document go through its Working Group Last Call (which should start shortly, now that a new draft has been published), but we would also see if we can come to agreement on a solution to this issue in that time.

My attempt to do so is here:
  https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/pull/2494

This PR adds a new data type to SF, a "Display String." It is indicated by a '%' leading character, and the remaining value is a percent-encoded, quote-delimited string.

Feedback appreciated.

Cheers,
