mailmap doc: start by mentioning the comment syntax

Mentioning the comment syntax and blank line support first is in line
with how "git help config" describes its format. See
b8936cf060 (config.txt grammar, typo, and asciidoc fixes, 2006-06-08)
for the paragraph I'm copying & amending from its documentation.

SYNTAX
------
The '#' character begins a comment to the end of line, blank lines
are ignored.
In the simple form, each line in the file consists of the canonical
real name of an author, whitespace, and an email address used in the
commit (enclosed by '<' and '>') to map to the name. For example:
@ -94,8 +97,6 @@ Other Author <other@author.xx> <nick2@company.xx>
Santa Claus <santa.claus@northpole.xx> <me@company.xx>
------------
Use hash '#' for comments that are either on their own line, or after
the email address.
