[PATCHv2 2/2] filter-branch: use git-sh-setup's ident parsing functions

This saves us some code, but it also reduces the number of processes we start for each filtered commit. Since we can parse both author and committer in the same sed invocation, we save one process. And since the new interface avoids tr, we save 4 processes.

It also avoids using "tr", which has had some odd portability problems reported with from Solaris's xpg6 version.

We also tweak one of the tests in t7003 to double-check that we are properly exporting the variables (because test-lib.sh exports GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, it will be automatically exported in subprograms. We override this to make sure that filter-branch handles it properly itself).

This fixes the missing exports from v1. There's no changes needed to
patch 1.
