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.
