gh-130110: allow hyphens in RFC 2231 continuation parameter names
decode_params() matches RFC 2231 continuation parameter names with the regex r'^(?P<name>\w+)\*...'. That rejects names containing a hyphen (e.g. `file-name*0*`), leaving such continuations undecoded. Widen the name class to [\w-] so hyphenated names are recognized, while still restricting to RFC 2045 `token` characters: under re.ASCII, \w is [A-Za-z0-9_], all of which are valid token chars, so no invalid character can match.
