[PATCH v3 1/3] log: add warning for unspecified log.mailmap setting

[Ariadne Conill <ariadne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on discussions around changing the log.mailmap default to being
enabled, it was decided that a transitional period is required.

Accordingly, we announce this transitional period with a warning
message.
