Eric Sunshine 226ad3482a builtin: add git-check-mailmap command
Introduce command check-mailmap, similar to check-attr and check-ignore,
which allows direct testing of .mailmap configuration.

As plumbing accessible to scripts and other porcelain, check-mailmap
publishes the stable, well-tested .mailmap functionality employed by
built-in Git commands.  Consequently, script authors need not
re-implement .mailmap functionality manually, thus avoiding potential
quirks and behavioral differences.
