Verify data being sent by methods in SendMessage()
As a follow-up for CVE-2019-3462, add checks similar to those for redirect to the central SendMessage() function. The checks are a bit more relaxed for values - they may include newlines and unicode characters (newlines get rewritten, so are safe). For keys and the message header, the checks are far more strict: They may only contain alphanumerical characters, the hyphen-minus, and the horizontal space. In case the method tries to send anything else, we construct a legal 400 URI Failed response, and send that. We specifically do not include the item URI, in case it has been compromised (that would cause infinite recursion).
