Description:
------------
the mail function incorrectly parses the From field from the headers.

For example the when passing the following headers:
$headers = "DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; bh=ZOokPFyLIFHFdZq7e/+JaJ+LVDI=; c=relaxed; d=test.com; h=from:to:subject; s=mail;
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 00:24:55 +0000
From: =?UTF-8?Q?test?= <sales@test.com>
To: mb@test.com";

the mail function fails and logs the following warning:
PHP Warning:  mail(): &quot;sendmail_from&quot; not set in php.ini or custom &quot;From:&quot; header missing in test.php on line 1

The problem seems to be that the mail implementation is confused by the extra from in the first header:
 h=from:to:subject; s=mail; 


Test script:
---------------
// reproduces the bug
mail("mb@test.com", "subject", "message1", "DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; bh=ZOokPFyLIFHFdZq7e/+JaJ+LVDI=; c=relaxed; d=test.com; h=from:to:subject; s=mail; 
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 00:24:55 +0000
From: =?UTF-8?Q?test?= <sales@test.com>
To: mb@test.com");

// does not reproduce the bug
mail("mb@test.com", "subject", "message1", "DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; bh=ZOokPFyLIFHFdZq7e/+JaJ+LVDI=; c=relaxed; d=test.com;
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 00:24:55 +0000
From: =?UTF-8?Q?test?= <sales@test.com>
To: mb@test.com");


Expected result:
----------------
no warning

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  mail(): &quot;sendmail_from&quot; not set in php.ini or custom &quot;From:&quot; header missing in test.php on line 1

Indeed, the algorithm is too limited. We'd need to loop over
headers_lc looking for additional potetential From header fields.
