ident: move commit_rewrite_person() to ident.c
commit_rewrite_person() and rewrite_ident_line() are static functions
defined in revision.c.
Their usages are as follows:
- commit_rewrite_person() takes a commit buffer and replaces the author
and committer idents with their canonical versions using the mailmap
mechanism
- rewrite_ident_line() takes author/committer header lines from the
commit buffer and replaces the idents with their canonical versions
using the mailmap mechanism.
This patch moves commit_rewrite_person() and rewrite_ident_line() to
ident.c which contains many other functions related to idents like
split_ident_line(). By moving commit_rewrite_person() to ident.c, we
also intend to use it in git-cat-file to replace committer and author
idents from the headers to their canonical versions using the mailmap
mechanism. The function is moved as is for now to make it clear that
there are no other changes, but it will be renamed in a following
commit.
