Error processing Gmail's contacts.vcf

[jmgk77]

hi, i recently started to get this error while processing gmail contacts exported in vcf format:

Can't call method "family" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/vCard/AddressBook.pm line 208.

this code used to work for years, without problems. I believe something changed on google's side.

That's not only happening with GMail but with any vCard which lacks specific attributes, in this case the "N:" value. Cf. https://bugs.debian.org/958194

I guess the _copy_name sub should check for the existence / should check the result of ->get('n') like the other _copy_FOO subs do.

I try to merge PR's with tests (but don't always have time) and do releases after that :)

If anyone is open to doing a PR that is

After the Country value there is an optional 8th value ('LABEL') containing a formatted version of the complete address.
