Refactor parseSignatureFromCommitLine (go-gitea#29054)

Replace go-gitea#28849. Thanks to @yp05327 for the looking into the problem.
Fix go-gitea#28840

The old behavior of newSignatureFromCommitline is not right. The new
parseSignatureFromCommitLine:

1. never fails
2. only accept one format (if there is any other, it could be easily added)

And add some tests.
