ident: keep a flag for bogus default_email

If we have to deduce the user's email address and can't come up with something plausible for the hostname, we simply write "(none)" or ".(none)" in the hostname. Later, our strict-check is forced to use strstr to look for this magic string. This is probably not a problem in practice, but it's rather ugly. Let's keep an extra flag that tells us the email is bogus, and check that instead. We could get away with simply setting the global in add_domainname(); it only gets called to write into git_default_email. However, let's make the code a little more obvious to future readers by actually passing a pointer to our "bogus" flag down the call-chain.
