Parse date header without comment patch.

Hello.

I use claws-mail ver 4.1.1 on Gentoo GNU/Linux.

I received a mail that showed a strange date on claws-mail. So I parsed source
and wrote a patch.

This mail date header is
"Date: 07 May 2023 20:56:01 +0900 (JST)".
This date header has a timezone comment at the end. It does not violate
RFC5322, but claws-mail misinterprets it. Year "2023" is set to the day
variable and timezone "0900" is set to the year variable.

Comments in Date header do not affect the timestamp. So I wrote a function that
removes all comment before it was interpreted. By removing comment, the correct
date for this mail was displayed on the list.
I think some of the old RFC822 format mail will also get the date display
correctly. RFC822's Date header allows can insert comment to most location of
blank space.
