maint: generate much of the THANKS file

Before this change, we had a tendency to manually list each contributor's name in THANKS. Now, each commit "Author" is included in the generated THANKS file automatically, and most of the old THANKS file is now a template, THANKS.in. We'll still have to manually list the names of people who report problems without a usable patch. * THANKS.in: New file, derived from THANKS, but removing names of those who are listed as git log 'Author:'s. * THANKS: Remove file. * thanks-gen: New file. * Makefile.am (THANKS): New rule. (EXTRA_DIST): Add .mailmap, THANKS.in and thanks-gen. * .gitignore: Add THANKS and THANKS-to-translators. * .mailmap: Unify on single address and name-spelling per contributor.
