Summary: rfc822.parsedate() too strict

Initial Comment:
rfc822.parsedate('Wed,3 Apr 2002 14:58:26 +0800')
returns None.  Note the lack of space between the
command and the 3.  That space is actually optional in
RFC 2822, so it should parse the same as 
parsedate('Wed, 3 Apr 2002 14:58:26 +0800')

I'm actually not interested in fixing this for rfc822.py,
but I have a simpler patch for email.Utils._parseaddr, along
with a test case.  I'm going to check that in now.

Added a patch and unittest which fix the reported 
problem.  Tried to adopt a style of accurate 
implementation that can be extended when we get a 
chance.  The style is to use regular expressions which 
relate directly back to the rfc2822 specification.

If approved, re-assign back to me for a commit to Py2.3.
