Proper git author attribution [#1224604]

It would be great if the 'Create commit message' button provided the whole git operation including the proper author attribution. For instance, git commit --author="dstol <dstol@329570.no-reply.drupal.org>" -m "- #[issue] by dstol [message]

The patch will need to be created with git format-patch and I don't think there is an easy way grab the user's email at the moment but it would still would be a nice feature to have in the future.

Just a heads up, the menu callback changed since the patches in that issue, its now http://drupal.org/user/54136/git-attribution, which gives {"author":"sun \u003csun@54136.no-reply.drupal.org\u003e"}

Here is a first start to implement that.

I'm wondering whether the author tag should be appended or added to a second textfield.
If it's added to the first field it would maybe make sense to rename it to "git commit snippet" or something similar and adapt it a bit more.
