get_maintainer: remove stray punctuation when cleaning file emails
When parsing emails from .yaml files in particular, stray punctuation
such as a leading '-' can end up in the name. For example, consider a
common YAML section such as:
maintainers:
- devicetree@vger.kernel.org
This would previously be processed by get_maintainer.pl as:
- <devicetree@vger.kernel.org>
Make the logic in clean_file_emails more robust by deleting any
sub-names which consist of common single punctuation marks before
proceeding to the best-effort name extraction logic. The output is then
correct:
devicetree@vger.kernel.org
Some additional comments are added to the function to make things
clearer to future readers.
