fsck: handle multiple authors in commits specially
This problem has been detected in the wild, and is the primary reason to introduce an option to demote certain fsck errors to warnings. Let's offer to ignore this particular problem specifically. Technically, we could handle such repositories by setting receive.fsck.<msg-id> to missingCommitter=warn, but that could hide missing tree objects in the same commit because we cannot continue verifying any commit object after encountering a missing committer line, while we can continue in the case of multiple author lines.
