net/mail: correctly handle whitespaces when formatting an email address

Whitespace characters are allowed in quoted-string according to RFC 5322 without
being "Q"-encoding. Address.String() already always formats the name portion in
quoted string, so whitespace characters should be allowed in there.

Currently, http://play.golang.org/p/wQGqBhvbXL produces

=?utf-8?q?First_Last?= <foo@bar.org>

but it contains no non-ASCII characters, so it should format to

"First Last" <foo@bar.org>

Comment 1 by maarten@brightcode.nl:

I also wanted to report this bug. According to RFC 5322 email address should follow
these rules:
name-addr       =   [display-name] angle-addr
display-name    =   phrase
phrase          =   1*word / obs-phrase
word            =   atom / quoted-string
atom            =   [CFWS] 1*atext [CFWS]
So a phrase of (printable ascii) words separated by whitespace is also allowed.
