[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api v8] fix #2971: DKIM: add setting to use From header when signing

Following RFC 5322 [2], we add an option to use the address from the
`From:` header instead of the Envelope From address.

>From RFC 7489 [1]:

   To illustrate, in relaxed mode, if a validated DKIM signature
   successfully verifies with a "d=" domain of "example.com", and the
   RFC5322.From address is "alerts at news.example.com", the DKIM "d="
   domain and the RFC5322.From domain are considered to be "in
   alignment".  In strict mode, this test would fail, since the "d="
   domain does not exactly match the FQDN of the address.

Tested with the following command:

    swaks --from foo at envelope.domain --to EMAIL -s PMG_ADDR:26 --data "Date: %DATE%\nTo: %TO_ADDRESS%\nFrom: bar at header.domain\nSubject: test %DATE%\nMessage-Id: <%MESSAGEID%>\nX-Mailer: swaks v%SWAKS_VERSION% jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/\n%NEW_HEADERS%\n%BODY%\n"

Where EMAIL and PMG_ADDR are given adequate values, and envelope.domain
and header.domain are in the 'Sign Domains' list.

Differences from v7:
 - Simplify code counting the number of senders
 - `die` when the sender count is not 1

Differences from v6:
 - Do not use uppercase in commit title
 - Rename dkim_use_domain to dkim-use-domain
