Add tests to detect new_variable_* overriding previously set values

[davidben@mit.edu: Fix some nits]
Make the fullvar variable test more reasonable

Calling set on the output of get really should a no-op. Also test that
the new version of the setters were installed.
Don't g_value_unset an uninitialized GValue

Silences a GObject assertion.
When replacing a variable, keep the old value

This unbreaks variable behavior on module reload.

Add a .mailmap to canonicalize commit names/emails
Update and make configurable the default format

- Rather than http://zephyr.1ts.org/wiki/df, use http://mit.edu/df, which is
  shorter
- Rather than a bare URL, prefix "Config error: see " to make it clearer what
  is going on
- Make the default format configurable using ./configure, to aid users with
  particularly severe length constraints
Update .gitignore
