Riku Voipio d5940c60e0 kbuild: deb-pkg improve maintainer address generation
There is multiple issues with the genaration of maintainer string

It uses DEBEMAIL and EMAIL enviroment variables, which may contain angle brackets,
creating invalid maintainer strings. The documented KBUILD_BUILD_USER and
KBUILD_BUILD_HOST variables are not used. Undocumented and uncommon NAME
variable is used. Refactor the Maintainer string to:

- use EMAIL or DEBEMAIL directly if they are in form "name <user@host>"
- use KBUILD_BUILD_USER and KBUILD_BUILD_HOST if set before falling
  back to autodetection
- no longer use NAME variable or the useless Anonymous string

The logic is switched from multiline if/then/fi statements to compact
shell variable substition commands.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
