Fetching author information from git config

[dkundel]

Hi everyone,

I think it would be nice if npm init would fetch for the author the information from the git config if it's provided. I could see two potential orders of preference here:

Option 1: local .git/config > npm config > global git config > empty string

Option 2: npm config > git config > empty string

There would be also the option to actually execute the respective git config --get user.name etc. commands which would respect both local and global config.

Let me know what you think. Happy to work on the PR for this.
