Add an option to map names and emails to their canonical forms via a
.mailmap file. This is enabled by default, consistent with the behavior
of Git itself.

This works, but needs some polish. The read_mailmap code is not
particularly clever.

I'm quite far from an expert in gitweb, but this seems like a good
feature to have.

Having a separate implementation to read and apply mailmaps makes me
worried that it will behave slightly differently than the C code,
especially around corner cases. Is it possible for us to ask git
programs that are called by gitweb to do the conversion for us (e.g.,
by passing "--use-mailmap" or using "%aE" and "%aN" formatters)?
I won't be surprised if the answer is "no, we access commits using
lower-level plumbing". But it's worth looking into, I think, if you
didn't already.

I briefly looked at tweaking "rev-list --header" but because it ends
up calling pretty.c::pp_header() for obvious reasons since we are
doing as little processing as possible in CMIT_FMT_RAW format, we do
not get to pretty.c::pp_user_info() which is where the mailmap
conversion happens for the normal "log" output.

It is tempting to split pp_user_info() into two parts (i.e. the
first few lines up to where map_user() is optionally called, and the
remainder), so that the CMIT_FMT_RAW users can optionally ask for
mailmap to kick in, but I doubt that it is worth it, if the only
potential benefitter is gitweb (which I consider is purely
maintenance mode---I am surprised the world hasn't yet switched to
gitiles, cgit and others).
