tools: generate authors list automatically

* Add new `update-authors.js` tool that traverses commit history using
  `git log` and creates authors list.

* Decouple common functions into a module shared between tools.

* Add `.mailmap` file.  This file is automatically parsed by Git so that
  `git log --format='%aN <%aE>'` won't show duplicate entries in case
  something was committed with misconfigured Git.  E.g., without this
  file @tshemsedinov appears twice in the list, as Timur Shemsedinov
  and as tshemsedinov, but with mailmap applied Git automatically
  coalesces these entries to use the full name only.  This file now
  includes the active collaborators (@tshemsedinov for a reason and
  @aqrln and @belochub just in case), proper names and emails of
  contributors who committed with invalid ones should be placed here.
