Meta: Add .mailmap to ascribe git commits to proper author.

From time to time a new commit will appear from an existing commit which has a different name or email address (or both) than an existing name or email address. This occurs because of changing names and changing emails and because of mistakes. Additionally, the `svg`-to-`git` process double-encodes names from `profiles.wordpress.org` causing corruption in names with non-US-ASCII characters.

This patch introduces a `.mailmap` file to alias committers so that:

 - All contributions for a given person are shown for that person.
 - Committers will be able to control or fix the display of their own name.

The `.mailmap` file is a standard `git` configuration.
