Fix CopyArrivalDate on platforms without glibc

strptime(3)'s "%d" day of the month conversion specifier does not accept
leading blanks in case of single digit numbers.  "%e" does that.

While implementation details and differences between the two
day-of-month conversion specifiers vary, none of the major libcs
(incl. OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Illumos, musl) consume a leading blank for "%d"
except glibc, which consumes any number of spaces like in the "%e" case.

Using "%e" ensures that date strings like " 4-Mar-2018 16:49:25 -0500"
are successfully parsed by all major implementations in compliance to
X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 ("XPG4.2").  musl is now the
only one that still treats "%d" and "%e" without stripping any space.

Issue analysed and reported by Evan Silberman <evan@jklol.net> who found
mbsync 1.3.0 on OpenBSD 6.4 to fail with `CopyArrivalDate' set when
syncing mails with the above mentioned timestamp.
