Document the contract between maintainer, committer, contributor, and
meta-contributors.
This documents how it currently works, not how we wish it to work. Start
there so that we can consciously improve.

Now that the Makefile is non-recursive, running an individual test
requires specifying the full path.

Solaris 10 lacks readlink(1). Additionally, its different grep(1) and
diff(1) do not take a `-q` flag.
Use a Perl one-liner instead of readlink(1) which is missing on Solaris 10.
Also because /usr/bin/grep and diff(1) don't understand the `-q` option, make
them go quiet by redirecting stdout to `/dev/null` instead.
The Perl dependency only exists in the test suite, so it does not incur
a runtime penalty for end users.
This is to work around the fact that readlink(1) is missing on Solaris.
The tradeoff is: on Solaris, installing third-party software (readlink)
is a pain, whereas on e.g. FreeBSD installing third-party software
(Perl) is simple and common.

Improve the `CONTRIBUTING.md` documentation about what dependencies
exist, how to install them, and how to get started in general. Remind
developers about the `configure` script, because without it no
`Makefile` will exist.

These changes:
* add the steps needed to get set up
* update the docs regarding mandatory tests
* clarify release instructions
* fix documentation formatting

It was not the full path to the docs, but let's also just refer to the version
on master.

This test suite uses cram to run integration tests through `/bin/sh`.
The tests are all high-level acceptance tests; they should work
regardless of the implemention code.
To run them, you must first install cram:
sudo pip install cram
Then the `check` target will run them:
make check
Failure output should be printed clearly to stdout, but in general: full
test output is in `test/test-suite.log` and output specific to a test
named `foo.t` is in `foo.t.log`.
Tests are now encouraged in `CONTRIBUTING.md` as part of the normal pull
request process.
This is a TAP-enabled test suite.

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.

This list is an alphabetical listing of everyone who has authored at
least one commit, plus their email address. When the author is a
coworker I have changed this to use their thoughtbot email address.
This also updates the `AUTHORS` section to mention thoughtbot.
The `NEWS.md.in` file has been changed to reflect that 1.2.0 is
released.
A `CONTRIBUTING.md` file has been added to explain what is required to
send a good contribution.
