The old code looked backwards from the email address to parse
the name, allowing an arbitrary number of spaces between the
two. However, in the case of no name, we looked back too far to
the 'author' (or 'Author:') header.
The bug was triggered by commit febf7ea4bed from linux-2.6.
Jeff King originally fixed it by looking back only one
character; Johannes Schindelin pointed out that we could try
harder while at it to cope with commits with broken headers.

Originally noticed by Nicolas Pitre; the real cause was the code
was prepared to deal with [PATCH] (and [PATCH n/m whatever])
prefixes but forgot that the string can be indented while acting
as a filter.

Instead, remove at most one space between name and address.

Don't force the user to specify more than one revision parameter,
thus making git-shortlog behave more like git-log.
'git-shortlog master' will now produce the expected results; the
other end of the range simply is the (oldest) root commit.

The code had "/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/" hardcoded which was
too specific to the kernel project.
With this, a line in the .mailmap file:
# repo-abbrev: /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/
can be used to cause the substring to be abbreviated to /.../
on the title line of the commit message.

Since it is now a builtin optionally taking a range, we have to parse
the options before the rev machinery, to be able to shadow the short
hand "-n" for "--max-count".

Annoyingly, it looked for the closing bracket in the author name
instead of in the message, and then accessed the NULL pointer.
