Jack Ling 5e677a1e05 fix(net/gclient): fix form field value truncation when uploading files (#4627)
## What does this PR do?

Fixes #4156

When posting form data with file upload, if a field value contains `=`
or `&`, the value was being truncated.

### Example

```go
data := g.Map{
    "file":      "@file:/path/to/file.txt",
    "fieldName": "aaa=1&b=2",
}
client.Post(ctx, "/upload", data)
```

**Expected**: Server receives `fieldName = "aaa=1&b=2"`
**Actual (before fix)**: Server receives `fieldName = "aaa"` (truncated)

## Root Cause Analysis

The issue was caused by three problems in the original code:

### Problem 1: Global URL encoding disable (httputils.go)

```go
// Original code - PROBLEMATIC
if urlEncode {
    for k, v := range m {
        if gstr.Contains(k, fileUploadingKey) || gstr.Contains(gconv.String(v), fileUploadingKey) {
            urlEncode = false  // Disables URL encoding for ALL values!
            break
        }
    }
}
```

When any value contained `@file:`, URL encoding was disabled for ALL
values, causing `"aaa=1&b=2"` to remain unencoded. The `&` character was
then treated as a parameter separator.

### Problem 2: Split on all `=` characters (gclient_request.go)

```go
// Original code - PROBLEMATIC
array := strings.Split(item, "=")  // Splits on ALL '=' characters
```

This caused `"fieldName=aaa=1"` to be split into `["fieldName", "aaa",
"1"]`.

### Problem 3: No URL decoding for field values

URL-encoded values were written directly to the multipart form without
decoding.

## Solution

### Fix 1: Remove global URL encoding disable

Only `@file:` prefixed values are kept unencoded for file upload
detection. Other values are properly URL-encoded.

### Fix 2: Use SplitN to limit split count

```go
array := strings.SplitN(item, "=", 2)  // Only split on first '='
```

### Fix 3: Add URL decoding for field values

```go
if v, err := gurl.Decode(fieldValue); err == nil {
    fieldValue = v
}
```

## Compatibility Analysis

| Scenario | Before | After | Compatible |
|----------|--------|-------|------------|
| Normal form POST (no file upload) |  Works |  Works |  Yes |
| File upload + normal field values |  Works |  Works |  Yes |
| File upload + field values containing `=` or `&` |  Truncated | 
Works |  Fixed |
| Field value is `@file:` (no path) |  Works |  Works |  Yes |
| Field value starts with `@file:` but file doesn't exist |  Error | 
Error |  Yes |
| User sends pre-encoded value like `"aaa%3D1"` |  Works |  Works | 
Yes |
| Content-Type: application/json |  Works |  Works |  Yes |
| Content-Type: application/xml |  Works |  Works |  Yes |

### Breaking Change Assessment

**No breaking changes.** The fix only affects the file upload scenario
where field values contain special characters (`=`, `&`). Previously
this scenario was broken, now it works correctly.

### Edge Cases

1. **Literal `@file:` value**: GoFrame treats `@file:` as a special
marker for file upload. This is a framework design decision and remains
unchanged.

2. **URL decode failure**: If URL decoding fails (e.g., invalid `%XX`
sequence), the original value is preserved.

## Test Coverage

Added comprehensive tests covering:

- `Test_Issue4156` - Basic fix verification
- `Test_Issue4156_MultipleSpecialChars` - Multiple `=`, `&`, `%`, `+`,
spaces
- `Test_Issue4156_MultipleFields` - Multiple fields with special
characters
- `Test_Issue4156_NoFileUpload` - Normal POST without file upload
- `Test_Issue4156_PreEncodedValue` - Pre-encoded values like `%3D`
- `Test_Issue4156_EmptyAndSpecialValues` - Edge cases (`=` at start/end,
only special chars)
- `TestBuildParams_*` - httputil.BuildParams comprehensive tests

All tests pass, including existing `Test_Issue3748` which tests the
`@file:` marker handling.

adjust `@file:` condition
- `internal/httputil/httputils_test.go` - Add comprehensive BuildParams
tests
