     [mms] Improved parser for e-mail addresses (Request #10949).

     The previous parsing method involved splitting at "important" RFC 822
     characters (e.g. < . :) and then brute-forcing to see if this was the
     correct decision.  New code goes through the string linearly, checking
     the grammar against the ABNF contained in the RFC.

     Performance statistics: On a message with 50 e-mail addresses,
     performance was 20x faster.  Within the script itself, total cumulative
     time within the parseAddressList() method went from 92% -> 7%.

     Real performance numbers are probably not quite this great. The new
     library substnatially reduces recursion.  Methods relying on recursion
     are artifically slowed down by xdebug since each function call has a
     more significant performance penalty than under regular PHP since
     xdebug needs to record data about each call. Even factoring this in,
     the new code is a substantial performance improvement - for messages
     containing substantial numbers of e-mail addresses (> 30), the limiting
     bottleneck was previously Rfc822 address parsing.  This should no longer
     be the case.
