scripts: report on author emails that are mangled by the mailing list

Browse Source 
In some cases the Author: email address in patches submitted to the
list gets mangled such that it says

    John Doe via Qemu-devel <qemu-devel@nongnu.org>

This change is a result of workarounds for DMARC policies.

Subsystem maintainers accepting patches need to catch these and fix
them before sending pull requests, so a checkpatch.pl test is highly
desirable.
