Also, this drops Weblate (again) and dependabot from the contributers list.
Moreover, this makes the contributers sorted by git command, rather
than sort command. Then, the authors are sorted by their first name, e.g.
- before
Xiaotian Wu, Yuri Chornoivan, Yu Watanabe, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek,
- after
Xiaotian Wu, Yu Watanabe, Yuri Chornoivan, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek,

It seems that --invert-grep used to affect --author, but now it doesn't (with
git-2.35.1-1.fc36.x86_64), so effectively we would only show the one entry that
was supposed to be filtered out.
Format output in a manner that can be copypasted as-is to NEWS.
That is, with 8 spaces indentation and wrapped at 80 columns.

Even though many of those scripts are very simple, it is easier to include
the header than to try to say whether each of those files is trivial enough
not to require one.
In a few cases, the prefix was originally necessary because a different helper
script was used for automake, and a different one for meson. But now we use
meson exclusively, and the prefix isn't useful. This also synchronizes the
target name, file name, and variable name in meson.build. The targets exposed
by meson didn't have the prefix, so the user interface is unchanged.
(The prefix is retained in the few tools that are used for meson itself,
e.g. meosn-vcs-tag.sh, meson-make-symlink.sh, etc.)
