AUTHORS: auto-generate from commit log

I tend to forget to update the AUTHORS file with new contributors. Let's
automate it and extract the contributors from the commit log.

Manually mention people how have contributed in other ways (bug reports,
documentation etc.) or how had commits in the previousl, no longer
existing repository.

+Notes:
+
+Note that we have taken over the maintenance and further development of Herbert
+Haas' mausezahn [ˈmauzəˌtsa:n] utility after he passed away in 2011. There were
+no Git commit statistics available from the import of his project. The project
+is currently in a staging area, but will be fully integrated soon. (*)
+
+Want to join the core team? Submit enough great patches over a long time,
+implement what's on the TODO file and show an ongoing, active interest in
+supporting netsniff-ng. What's in it for you? If you ever come to Switzerland,
+you get a free beer on Daniel and you can meet some great people involved in
+this project. ;)
