send-email: improve RFC2047 quote parsing

The RFC2047 unquoting, used to parse email addresses in From and Cc
headers, is broken in several ways:

* It erroneously substitutes ' ' for '_' in *the whole* header, even
  outside the quoted field. [Noticed by Christoph.]

* It is too liberal in its matching, and happily matches the start
  of one quoted chunk against the end of another, or even just
  something that looks like such an end. [Noticed by Junio.]

* It fundamentally cannot cope with encodings that are not a
  superset of ASCII, nor several (incompatible) encodings in the
  same header.

This patch fixes the first two by doing a more careful decoding of
the outer quoting (e.g. "=AB" to represent an octet whose value is
0xAB).  Fixing the fundamental issues is left for a future, more
intrusive, patch.
