[GitLab] Change email source in gitAuthor

[AKorezin]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

There's a special email for commits in gitlab user profile.
The name of the parameter is commit_email.
It has been added in gitlab 13.11.
I think that commit_email should be used instead of email parameter for gitAuthor.

curl --header 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: <token>' https://gitlab.com/api/v4/user | 
  jq '{email: .email, commit_email: .commit_email, public_email: .public_email}'

I don't know why it's not documented in /user api.

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

	const user = (
	await gitlabApi.getJson<{ email: string; name: string; id: number }>(
	`user`,
	{ token }
	)
	).body;
	platformConfig.gitAuthor = `${user.name} <${user.email}>`;

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

I think we need to have fallback logic too, for anyone not on 13.11 or later
