[PATCH 1/2] mailmap: Update manpage link

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner at vrull.eu>

On recent systems the git-shortlog manpage only tells people to
    See gitmailmap(5)

So instead of sending people on a scavenger hunt, put that info into the
header directly. Though keep the old reference around for older systems.
