Bug description:
  >>> from oslo_middleware.http_proxy_to_wsgi import HTTPProxyToWSGI
  >>> HTTPProxyToWSGI._parse_rfc7239_header("for=192.0.2.60;proto=http, for=192.0.2.60;by=203.0.113.43")
  [{'for': '192.0.2.60', 'proto': 'http'}, {' for': '192.0.2.60', 'by': '203.0.113.43'}]
  >>>
  >>> HTTPProxyToWSGI._parse_rfc7239_header("for=192.0.2.60; proto=http, for=192.0.2.60; by=203.0.113.43")
  [{' proto': 'http', 'for': '192.0.2.60'}, {' for': '192.0.2.60', ' by': '203.0.113.43'}]

  According to some sources:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For#Alternatives_and_variations
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Forwarded

  using space after semicolon in Forwarded header is valid, but
  _parse_rfc7239_header does not parse it properly: note spaces in keys
  in the dict above.

  This affects e.g. Heat when using a proxy+SSL.
