server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully

We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.

Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters
e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces,
but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).
