gitmailmap(5) uses 'GIT_WORK_DIR' to refer to the root of the
repository, but this environment variable does not exist.
Use the correct spelling for that variable, 'GIT_WORK_TREE'.

Add documentation and more tests for case-insensitivity. The existing
test only matched on the E-Mail part, but as shown here we also match
the name with strcasecmp().
This behavior was last discussed on the mailing list in the thread
starting at [1]. It seems we're keeping it like this, so let's
document it.

Change the mailmap documentation added in 0925ce4d49 (Add map_user()
and clear_mailmap() to mailmap, 2009-02-08) to continue discussing the
Jane/Joe example. I think this makes things a lot less confusing as
we're building up more complex examples using one set of data which
covers all the things we'd like to discuss.
Also add tests to assert that what our documentation says is what's
actually happening. This is mostly (or entirely) covered by existing
tests which I'm not deleting, but having these tests for the synopsis
makes it easier to follow-along while reading the tests & docs.

Mentioning the comment syntax and blank line support first is in line
with how "git help config" describes its format. See
b8936cf060 (config.txt grammar, typo, and asciidoc fixes, 2006-06-08)
for the paragraph I'm copying & amending from its documentation.

Quote the mailmap.file and mailmap.blob configuration variables as
`mailmap.file` and `mailmap.blob`, and link to git-config(1). This is
in line with the preferred way of doing this in the rest of our
documentation.

Create a gitmailmap(5) page similar to how .gitmodules and .gitignore
have their own pages at gitmodules(5) and gitignore(5). Now instead of
"check-mailmap", "blame" and "shortlog" documentation including the
description of the format we link to one canonical place.
This makes things easier for readers, since in our manpage or
web-based[1] output it's not clear that the "MAPPING AUTHORS" sections
aren't subtly different, as opposed to just included.
