Uncaught RfcComplianceException thrown when sending email from a site whose name in Arabic language

Problem/Motivation

After the upgrade to 9.2.x sites with Arabic site name began to WSoD with uncaught exceptions when they send emails:

Symfony\Component\Mime\Exception\RfcComplianceException: Email "=?UTF-8?B?PT91dGYtOD9RPz1EOD1BNz1EOD1BQT1EOD1CNF89RDg9QTI9RDk9ODY9RDg9QUY=?= =?UTF-8?B?Xz89DQogPT91dGYtOD9RPz1EOD1BNz1EOT04NV89RDg9QTc9RDk9ODQ9RDk9ODM=?= =?UTF-8?B?PUQ5PTg4PUQ5PThBPUQ4PUFBPz0gPG5vLXJlcGx5QGt3LmhtLmNvbT4=?=" does not comply with addr-spec of RFC 2822. in Symfony\Component\Mime\Address->__construct() (line 56 of /app/vendor/symfony/mime/Address.php).

Drupal 9 contains few changes to make the site name RFC compliant
https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/commit/cb266b8932c690ecdee10...

This works fine for english text "createPhrase" method of /vendor/symfony/mime/Header/AbstractHeader.php is having below condition

public const PHRASE_PATTERN = '(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))*(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))|(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])))?[a-zA-Z0-9!#\$%&\'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`\{\}\|~]+(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))*(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))|(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])))?)|(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))*(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))|(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])))?"((?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21\x23-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?"(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))*(?:(?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?(\((?:(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])|(?:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x19\x7F]|[\x21-\x27\x2A-\x5B\x5D-\x7E])|(?:\\[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x7F])|(?1)))*(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])?\)))|(?:(?:[ \t]*(?:\r\n))?[ \t])))?))+?)';
if (!preg_match('/^'.self::PHRASE_PATTERN.'$/D', $phraseStr)) {

}

Which considers English as valid text and does not encode it but in case of Arabic site name it tries to encode the site name;

from encodeString method of /vendor/symfony/mime/Encoder/QpEncoder.php.
Which causes the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a vanilla install of Drupal 9.
2. Set the site name in Arabic language.
4. Visit /user/password and attempt to send yourself a password reset email. or user/register
