Add/mailmap

Motivation

Some names and emails in the commit log are bad. This adds a .mailmap file such that we can fix the mapping of names and emails so they display correctly with gitlog

How to test the behavior?

Run git show 08360f8494ce97ffc965015499ddea052decdaef which shows !git for-eac.... as the author name

commit 08360f8494ce97ffc965015499ddea052decdaef
Author: !git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' `git symbolic-ref HEAD` <ben.dichter.......

With the updated .mailmap the name is displayed correctly as:

commit 08360f8494ce97ffc965015499ddea052decdaef
Author: Ben Dichter <ben.dichter....

I'm fine with this. My email is everywhere already

I'm fine with this. My email is everywhere already

Yeah, all the emails are in the logs already. It would be nice with git would track emails in a more private way, but unfortunately it does not. mailmap uses the email as the primary key for matching, i.e., the current entry for Ben just updates the name and the current entry for Cody updates both the name and email.
