MimeKit Add a type converter for the InternetAddress type

This is useful to automatically convert strings to typed InternetAddress subclasses. For example, when using the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration package.

I'll have to think about this...

Can the TypeConverter classes be internal or do they have to be public for this to work?

I think they could be internal but we would lose the ability to specify another ParserOptions with the Register method.

Also, all the system type converter classes are public.

Can you show me an example of how you intend to use this?

I'm not very familiar with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and so I'm curious about how this would work.

Will do next week when I'm back in front of a computer.

@0xced Just figured I'd poke you since you are likely back from vacation now.

I made some changes to this PR and manually merged it (couldn't push my changes to this PR branch).
