mailmap doc + tests: document and test for case-insensitivity
Add documentation and more tests for case-insensitivity. The existing
test only matched on the E-Mail part, but as shown here we also match
the name with strcasecmp().

starting at [1]. It seems we're keeping it like this, so let's
document it.
