Configurable 'X-Bogosity' message

[David Relson]

gram,

When bogofilter was adding its own "X-Spam-Status" line, any previously 
existing lines that began with "X-Spam-*" were being removed.  Imagine how 
confusing it would be if a spammer put in a "Status:  All is good" line and 
we were putting in "this is spam".  To avoid having conflicting lines like 
this, bogofilter will remove lines that start with "X-Bogosity" or whatever 
SPAM_HEADER_LINES is set to.
