    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.
