When files are added or removed /dev/null is used as a place
holder name in the patch for the absent file. Don't try and
find a MAINTAINER for this place holder, it only ever flags
and then spams THE REST, behaviour for a real filename is
unchanged.

"THE REST" maintainers should always be CCed for any modification that
don't fall under the responsability of a specific component maintainer.
However, the script get_maintainers.pl will remove "THE REST"
maintainers as soon as one maintainer of a specific component will be
present.
Fix the script once for all.

Simpler non-nested brace expansion.
Some entries in the MAINTAINER are not understood by the script, the
ones that contain {,}. This patch fixes it.
This will convert brace expansion style use in MAINTAINER into a regex
that get_maintainer.pl can use to match a path again a maintainer
section.
It is done by using two different regex, the first one will take care of
converting ',' inside '{}' to a '|', one by one, as long as there is at
least two commas. The second regex will do the final convertion of '{,}'
to '(|)'.
With the patch, the right maintainers are displayed, instead of "THE
REST" maintainers, when using the following command for e.g.
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f docs/misc/kconfig.txt
The patch also get rid of the warnings, with recent perl:
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^docs/misc/kconfig{ <-- HERE ,-language}\.txt/ at ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl line 731.

Based on feedback from reviewers:
* Disable git fallback by default: it has a tendency to mail
anyone who did a single oneline change and should not be
necessary for a project of Xen's size.
* Disable rolestats: Makes cut-and-paste from the output into the
commit message easy.
* Drop "THE REST" fallback: Don't spam Keir *too* much.
