Our raw data doesn't have the qualitiy one should
expect. There are empty header lines only containing
whitespace (leading to wrong joining of apparent
continuation lines); header lines that contain garbage
without ':' so split is failing; empty 'newsgroups'
fields; unsupported encondings in MIME encoded words
... and so on.
Add fixes for the aforementioned problems.

From:, Sender: etc. may contain more than one
entity in a comma separated list, i.e. a From:
line like
"From: Me <me@example.com>, You <you@example.com>"
is perfectly valid.
Handle multiple entities when splitting those
headers and save all names and all adresses
as (new) comma separated lists in the
corresponding database fields.

Incoming data is written to DBTableRaw without
much interpretation. To allow for more and
better analysis that raw data should be parsed
daily and copied to another database table
with separate fields for most header lines.
All other scripts could use that pre-parsed
data.
* Add database schema to install.pl
* Add DBTableParse to newsstats.conf.sample
and as mandatory to NewsStats.pm
* Add parsedb.pl
TODO:
- Documentation is only rudimentary.
- From:, Sender:, Reply-To: and Subject:
are not yet parsed.
- gatherstats.pl does not yet use DbTableParse.
