 Feed: Merge multiple header values to avoid fatal error.

 When SimplePie parses HTTP headers, it combines multiple values for the
 same header into a comma-separated string. `WP_SimplePie_File` overrides
 the parsing, but was leaving them as an array instead.

 That lead to a fatal error in PHP 8, because other parts of the codebase
 ended up passing an array to a function that expected a string.

 Fixes #51056. See #51956.
