Here is a unified diff of changes I made to correctly support XHDR and
extract the information from the cached xover files.
The current implementation of nntpcache requires that a ":" be part of the
header field of the xhdr command. That is, an xhdr command should be of
the form:
xhdr subject nnnnn
But nntpcache requires that it be:
xhdr subject: nnnnn
Inquiries on the ietf-nntp mailling list resulted in no known servers that
support the ":" in the command.
So, I made the following change:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, isFieldInXover() is only used in this function. I considered
changing it to accept both with and without the colon, but I wasn't sure
if perhaps that function will be used in the future. So, I instead changed
what is passed to it.
Also, increased the array a bit, incase there was some reason the header
field has to be at least 127 characters.
