pr: ensure the page header line is of the required format

2010-01-07T04:07:23Z

Before this change, with too long a file name, the name would abut the date field on the left and possibly also the "Page N" field on the right, rather than leaving a one-space separator in each case. Fixes a regression introduced on Mar 6 2009, by commit a4053c5291d5797734b3e4f042f9e1adf3944fd6 * src/pr.c (print_header): Ensure that there is at least one space before and after the file name part of the header line. * NEWS: Mention it. * tests/pr/W20l24f-ll: s/xPage/ x Page/. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Denis McKeon, in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28492.
