Removes the manual handling of the AUTHORS file, giving every committer automatic credit for their contribution.
Manual tweaks to the file are still accepted and retained by the scripts.
Git didn't really understand the multiple email addresses in the NICKS
file the same way I expected it to, and this fixes that. It also makes
AUTHORS the "master" file that everything else depends on, so it
now includes all of name, nickname and email addresses.

More prominent positions are given to authors with more commits, in
steps of magnitude. Authors with 100-999 commits are listed before
authors with 10-99 commits. Yes, this puts me at the head of the list
and is a slight ego trip, but I still think it's the right thing to do.
- Move the Go files into script/ instead of random places
- Rewrite check-contrib.sh into check-authors.go and check-copyright.go
- Clean up build.sh a little bit
