If there are errors in a user edited author-script there was no
indication of what was wrong. This commit adds some specific error messages
depending on the problem. It also relaxes the requirement that the
variables appear in a specific order in the file to match the behavior
of 'rebase --interactive'.

That relaxing is sensible; there is no reason to insist that the
file we are reading was written by exactly the same writer as we
have.

We are unable to parse because it is not of KEY='VALUE' form.  Is
that something worth reporting, e.g. "no key present in '%.*s'"?

At this point, item->string is what we earlier found on the left
hand side of the '=', i.e. the key.  The message makes sense.

That -2 is somewhat cute.  If we find a dup, then it will become -1
so later check for missing field would not trigger.

However, if you have three instances of GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, then

 - the first one makes name_i point at it
 - the second one triggers an error and name_i becomes -1
 - the third one makes name_i point at it again

And name_i is not -2 so we won't give "missing" error, which is OK,
but we end up having a usable name even though we said we detected
duplicate!

You can probably compare name_i with -2 when detecting the dup to
fix it, i.e.

	if (name_i != -2)
		name_i = error("found dup");
	else
		name_i = i;
