If someone has the time to shave this yak it would be greatly appreciated.

The update-authors.sh script works fine on Linux but not on OSX where the file gets jumbled. I believe the problem is that the OSX version of awk doesn't maintain natural sorting like the Linux one does. This is frustrating for me since I split my time between my OSX and Linux computers but can only run this on Linux.

-1 to rewriting this in JavaScript btw, I'd like to see a scripting solution, preferably with minimal changes to the existing script, although I don't know if that's even possible.

I think I've spotted a gawk-ism in there. I'll take a look.

doc: make tools/update-authors.sh cross-platform

And by cross-platform I mean Linux and OS X.  The awk script is not
compatible with BSD awk, that's why this commit changes it to perl.

Update the .mailmap to remove some duplicates and regenerate the
AUTHORS file.
