cvsserver: change generation of CVS author names
CVS username is generated from local part email address. We take the whole local part but restrict the character set to the Portable Filename Character Set, which is used for Unix login names according to Single Unix Specification v3. This will obviously report different usernames from existing repositories for commits with the local part of the author e-mail address that contains characters outside the PFCS. Hopefully this won't break an old CVS checkout from an earlier version of git-cvsserver, because the names are always shown afresh to the CVS clients and not kept on the client side.
