Generate the list of contributors from git
Instead of requiring contributors to update rcm(7), pull the list of contributors from the git log instead. The `rcm.7` file has been moved to `rcm.7.mustache`. The `autogen.sh` command will write `rcm.7` using autocontrib, a quick script included in this commit. This commit adds a `.mailmap` file, used by git-shortlog(1) to produce correct and useful names and email addresses. An initial `.mailmap` has been added to correct some existing email addresses and duplications. `.mailmap` is documented in [Documentation/mailmap.txt][mailmap] for git. This adds a maintainer dependency on Ruby and the mustache gem. The autocontrib program is spiked out in Ruby due to my familarity with the language, but the choice of templating language (mustache) allows flexibility for switching languages later. This is a dependency requirement only for people who run `autogen.sh` -- maintainers. This adds a maintainer dependency on git. Again, this is only for maintainers, and many (all?) of them need git to get rcm's source anyway. Thanks to Patrick Brisbin and George Brocklehurst for the review.
