Log Message:
When compiling format strings, nmh attempts to avoid multiple parsing
of address and date fields by only inserting calls to the parse
functions (FT_PARSEADDR and FT_PARSEDATE) for a given component once.
The problem with this method is that the initial invocation may
actually be on a code path that is conditionally executed.  This can
result cached copies of data from the fields in previous messages to
be used.

My solution is to move this optimization from compile time to run time.
Address and Date parsing calls (FT_PARSEADDR and FT_PARSEDATE) will
always be included.  Run time flags are used to prevent these functions
from being run more than once per component per message.

The c_flags field has being converted from a boolean to a bit-field to
facilitate maintenance of the new CT_PARSED value.  The result value
that used to be in this field is now the bit CF_TRUE and the
overloaded use of this field by scan() is now the CT_DATEFAB bit.

Some unneeded flags (CT_ADDRPARSE, CT_MYMBOX) have also been removed.

+ 
+       * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
+       is optimized to the first instance.  The first instance may be in
+       contitional code which will result in cached data to
+       be used.  Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
+       and parse on the first use.
+       * Remove some unused flag bits.
