net/mail: avoid quadratic behavior in mail address parsing

RFC 5322 domain-literal parsing built the dtext value one character
at a time with string concatenation, resulting in excessive
resource consumption when parsing very large domain-literal values.

Replace with a subslice.

Benchmark not included in this CL because it's too narrow to be
of general ongoing use, but for:

    ParseAddress("alice@[" + strings.Repeat("a", 0x40000) + "]")
