[JRASERVER-5176] non-ASCII characters incorrectly encoded in field "From:" in emails

From version 3.0.0 onward, JIRA enters actual user as sender in the email notifications (instead of using a predefined e-mail address). This means that sender field can now contain non-ASCII characters, as user's "fullname" is used as the description part of the email address. Unfortunately, the field is encoded incorrectly, as it is always encoded in ISO-646.

Strangely, the subject field ("Subject:") is correctly encoded in UTF-8... It seems as if somebody forgot to properly encode "From:" field.

Relevant parts of the e-mail header from JIRA:
------
From: =?ISO646-US?Q?Bo=3Ftjan_Dolenc_=28JIRA=29?= <jira.razvoj@marand.si>
Subject: =?utf-8?Q?[JIRA]Created=3A=28PE=2D27=29_test_=C5=A1umnikov_v_emailu?=
To: bostjan.dolenc@Uni-Lj.si
------
