change the rules for maintaining AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS files.
the current system is too painful, so instead let's just have the coders tell us the details.
we can update the files ourselves.

Specifically, tell us either that you've completed out the individual agreement
or tell us the name of your organization once it has completed the
corporate agreement.  One of the Go developers at Google will add you
to CONTRIBUTORS and, if appropriate, AUTHORS after verifying that the
agreement has been completed.  We will use the email address you use
on codereview.appspot.com as the email address in these files.
