ref-filter: add mailmap support
Add mailmap support to ref-filter formats which are similar in
pretty. This support is such that the following pretty placeholders are
equivalent to the new ref-filter atoms:
%aN = authorname:mailmap
%cN = committername:mailmap
%aE = authoremail:mailmap
%aL = authoremail:mailmap,localpart
%cE = committeremail:mailmap
%cL = committeremail:mailmap,localpart
Additionally, mailmap can also be used with ":trim" option for email by
doing something like "authoremail:mailmap,trim".
The above also applies for the "tagger" atom, that is,
"taggername:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap,trim"
and "taggername:mailmap,localpart".
The functionality of ":trim" and ":localpart" remains the same. That is,
":trim" gives the email, but without the angle brackets and ":localpart"
gives the part of the email before the '@' character (if such a
character is not found then we directly grab everything between the
angle brackets).
