Consistent parsing of header field names
----------------------------------------

                 Key: MIME4J-90
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-90
             Project: JAMES Mime4j
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.5
            Reporter: Markus Wiederkehr
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.6


RFC 822 defines a field as:
    field       =  field-name ":" [ field-body ] CRLF
    field-name  =  1*<any CHAR, excluding CTLs, SPACE, and ":">

This implies that a field name must consist of at least one character and may 
not contain spaces or tabs; not even trailing ones.

Currently o.a.j.mime4j.parser.AbstractEntity#parseField accepts empty field 
names while o.a.j.mime4j.field.Field#parse accepts trailing spaces and tabs.
