[PATCH 5/5] fsck: improve committer/author check

Neither name nor email should contain < or >, so split the string with these and check they come in that order and < is preceeded with a space.

If < is missing don't say a confusing "missing space", say "bad name" if
> isn't missing and "missing email" if both < and > are missing.
