convert: config option to control Git committer actions

When converting a Git repository to Mercurial at Mozilla, I encountered
a scenario where I didn't want `hg convert` to automatically add the
"committer: <committer>" line to commit messages. While I can hack around
this by rewriting the Git commit before it is fed into `hg convert`,
I figured it would be a useful knob to control.

This patch introduces a config option that allows lots of control
over the committer value. I initially implemented this as a single
boolean flag to control whether to save the committer message. But
then there was feedback that it would be useful to save the committer
in extra data. While this patch doesn't implement support for saving
in extra data, it does add a mechanism for extending which actions
to take on the committer field. We should be able to easily add
actions to save in extra data.

Some of the implemented features weren't asked for. But I figured they
could be useful. If nothing else they demonstrate the extensibility
of this mechanism.

Put here definitions of blacklists for run-tests.py

Create a file per blacklist. Each file should list the names of tests that you
want to be skipped.
File names are meant to be used as targets for run-tests.py --blacklist
option.
Lines starting with # are ignored. White spaces are stripped.

e.g. if you create a blacklist/example file containing:
 test-hgrc
 # some comment
 test-help
then calling "run-tests.py --blacklist blacklists/example" will exclude
test-hgrc and test-help from the list of tests to run.
