* Update mailmap
This commit makes updates to the mailmap file to include the relevant
portions from aqua and also remove and update invalid entries. The
mailmap file (as is documented in the top of the file) is for mapping
emails and real names from the git log to a canonical form. For example
if a commit author changes email address or was using an incorrect or
out of date real name the mailmap file can be used to correct this.
However, several entries are not mapping anything and should be removed.
In addition to the additions from aqua's mailmap I did this for the
obvious cases where it was a github username and/or updated them to a
published real name for that account.
* Add more entries to the mailmap
This commit continues to update the mailmap. It mostly is fixes for
regular contributors that used multiple names or email addresses and
standardizes on the form already in a mailmap file (either in terra or
other qiskit repositories) and entries that were just using github
usernames. The updates for users with users with just a username as the
real name field were taken from their github profile, links off their
github profiles (personal websites, linkedin, etc), or from other
sources based on their email address (assuming the github anonymous
email address was not used).
This adds a mailmap for qiskit terra in order to merge multiple commit identities into a single author and to choose a canonical name/email for the authors suitable for the attribution scripts to use for generating the AUTHORS file, bibtex file, and zenodo authorship metadata. I did a small amount of work and figured out full names for a few authors who used opaque github ids. I didn't do too much detective work to unmask the last few in case they are trying to be anonymous on purpose.
This resolves the terra piece of Qiskit/qiskit#229
I preferred the noreply.github email if one was present and failing that preferred an IBM email over any other.
Without this PR git-shortlog thinks there are 146 unique authors. After this PR merges duplicates, it shows 105 unique authors. This is 5 fewer than the "100 contributors" quoted on the github webpage because of:
1. 2 authors who have commits but seem to have no github account: Vojtech Havlicek, Christian Claus
2. 3 authors who have a github account but have committed using an email address not attached with that account: @jerrymchow @Trabing @mryu1
* Initial mailmap
* Update mailmap

The ignis mailmap file [1] included the full name for @gadial. This
commit just propogates that over to terra too.
