Subject: [PATCH] Wrap lines of list items

Paragraphs are usually wrapped at 78 characters per line. This patch
applies that to list items as well. It contains elements from scumop who
posted https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text/issues/13#issue-1185403.
But it has been rewritten to fix the amount of newline characters and
increase readability and performance.
