fast-import gained a new raw-permissive date format explictly for
allowing people to import repositories as-is. Make use of the flag, and
stop rewriting the bogus timezone found in rails.git.
If users do not like these bogus times, they can of course write a
filter to fix them (or even make them bogus in a different way). For
example:
git filter-repo ... --commit-callback '
if commit.author_date.endswith(b"+051800"):
commit.author_date.replace(b"+051800", b"+0261")
'

The mailmap format parsed by the "git shortlog" command allows for
matching mailmap entries with no email address. This is admittedly an
edge case, because most Git commits will have an email address
associated with them as well as a name, but technically the address
isn't required, and "git shortlog" accommodates that in its mailmap
format. This commit teaches git-filter-repo to do the same thing.

There are a number of things not present in "normal" imports that we
nevertheless support and need to be tested:
* broken timezone adjustment (+051800->+0261; observed in the wild
in real repos, and adjustment prevents fast-import from dying)
* commits missing an author (observed in the wild in a real repo;
just sets author to committer)
* optional additional linefeeds in the input allowed by
git-fast-import but usually not written by git-fast-export
* progress and checkpoint objects
* progress, checkpoint, and 'everything' callbacks
