Jonathan Bernard 6e6e06bdc4 Fix quoted MIME-DIR parameter parsing
Correct the vCard 3 parameter parser so quoted parameter values are
consumed according to the MIME-DIR grammar instead of failing
immediately on the opening double quote.

The fix explicitly advances past the opening quote, reads the quoted
qsafe-char sequence, and strips the surrounding quotes from the returned
parameter value. Unquoted parameter handling is unchanged.

Add private parser coverage for quoted parameter values and quoted
values containing commas, plus a public regression test showing that
quoted LANGUAGE and TYPE parameters are accepted by the vCard 3 parser.

VCard

nim-vcard is a pure nim implementation of the VCard format defined in RFCs 2425, 2426, and 6350. It allows you to parse and serialize VCards, as well as create VCards programmatically. It aims to be a complete implememtation, supporting all of the features of the VCard3 standard. Because the standard provides many features that may be rarely used, this library also provides a simplified API for more typical use-cases.
