mailmap: do not respect symlinks for in-tree .mailmap
As with .gitattributes and .gitignore, we would like to make sure that .mailmap files are handled consistently whether read from the a blob (as is the default behavior in a bare repo) or from the filesystem. Likewise, we would like to avoid reading out-of-tree files pointed to by a symlink, which could have security implications in certain setups. We can cover both by using open_nofollow() when opening the in-tree files. We'll continue to follow links for mailmap.file, as well as when reading .mailmap from the current directory when outside of a repository entirely.
