The kernel repository has a .mailmap file to remap author names and email addresses to their desired format in Git logs (for details, see gitmailmap documentation [0]). Alas, this is only visible for author information when looking at the logs locally, as GitHub does not support mailmaps at the moment [1]. This commit adds a .mailmap file for libbpf, automatically generated from the kernel's version. The script to generate the .mailmap is added, too: it works by grepping email addresses from authors in the repository, and collecting all lines ending with this address in the kernel's .mailmap - in other words, all lines where this address is used as a pattern for a remapping. To keep the .mailmap up-to-date, add a call to the script to sync-kernel.sh.
