updateAUTHORS.p[lm] - add exclusion support
This add a new file Porting/exclude_contrib.txt to hold a list of base64 SHA-256 digests of the user name and email who should be excluded. This adds the options --exclude-me --exclude-contrib=NAME_AND_EMAIL --exclude-missing to add exclusions in different ways. --exclude-me uses the git credentials for the current user, --exclude-contrib expects a name and email, and --exclude-missing excludes someone who is missing from the change log. When excluding someone their name will be removed from AUTHORS if it is already listed, and the relevant entries to .mailmap will be removed, and if necessary additional exclusion entries will be added for any of their old identities which were mentioned in .mailmap. This feature will be used in a later patch to resolve GH issue #20010.
