[PATCH v2 2/3] emacs: Improved display of matching/non-matching authors.

[David Edmondson]

Rather than splitting the :authors attribute, which is error prone,
use the separate :authors_matched and :authors_non_matched attributes.

This improves the display of authors should one of them include a pipe
symbol (|) in their 'from' address.
