[PATCH v3 0/2] Improve mailmap file

[Bruce Richardson]

The mailmap file in DPDK is not always correctly sorted, and standard
cmdline sorting tools don't always do the job correctly. To improve
things, add a new script to devtools for working with the mailmap file,
to make it easier to add new entries in the correct place, to check the
file for correctness, and lastly to sort the file in place (hopefully a
one-off operation).

Once that is done, commit the changes to the mailmap file to ensure it
is correctly sorted in the repository.

V3:
* feedback from Robin's review:
  - used builtin type annotations
  - used argparse subparsers and callbacks for individual commands
* re-sorted latest mailmap in patch 2

V2:
* address multiple feedback items on V1.
* fix bug whereby adding an extra actually sorted the whole file
