mailmap: Map 'via Devel' mailing-list From-munged authors to real identities

The devel@lists.libvirt.org mailing list rewrites the From: header
for DMARC reasons, so patches submitted via the list land in git as
'<Real Name> via Devel <devel@lists.libvirt.org>'. This currently
affects 30 commits across 13 distinct contributors, all of whom are
identifiable by their Signed-off-by trailer.

Add mailmap entries that remap each mangled identity back to the
author's real name and address, matching the approach used by the
Linux kernel for the same problem.

Beyond cosmetic cleanup, this keeps contribution statistics
(git shortlog, contributor graphs) accurate and ensures contributors
get proper credit for their work, which is valuable when they look
for new positions or otherwise need a verifiable record of upstream
activity.

This approach is standard for such situations in Linux kernel. I have
seen this several times.
