[docs] [issue26426] email examples: incorrect use of email.headerregistry.Address

New submission from Jakub Wilk:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/email-examples.html#examples-using-the-provisional-api contains the following code:

from email.headerregistry import Address
...
msg['From'] = Address("Pepé Le Pew", "pepe at example.com")
msg['To'] = (Address("Penelope Pussycat", "penelope at example.com"),
             Address("Fabrette Pussycat", "fabrette at example.com"))

But Address takes just the username, not the whole email address, as the second argument. So this should be written as:

msg['From'] = Address("Pepé Le Pew", "pepe", "example.com")
...

or:

msg['From'] = Address("Pepé Le Pew", addr_spec="pepe at example.com")
...
