shortlog: fix segfault on empty authorname
The old code looked backwards from the email address to parse the name, allowing an arbitrary number of spaces between the two. However, in the case of no name, we looked back too far to the 'author' (or 'Author:') header. The bug was triggered by commit febf7ea4bed from linux-2.6. Jeff King originally fixed it by looking back only one character; Johannes Schindelin pointed out that we could try harder while at it to cope with commits with broken headers.
