Add support to provide the Co-author when committing. For each
co-author provided with --coauthor=<coauthor>, a line is added at the
bottom of the commit message, like this:

    Co-authored-by: <coauthor>

It's a common practice use when pairing up with other people and both
authors want to in the commit message.
