Users with local changes and without a configured Git identity won't be able to update Homebrew via `brew update`, as the update will fail when trying to stash the local modifications with `git stash`. They will be unable to proceed until they follow Git's advice to configure their identity or they manage to revert their local changes. This change always sets a commit e-mail and name, avoiding this issue. A nice bonus is that experienced Git users can see who created the stash commit (identifying `brew update` as the author). Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#46930. Closes Homebrew/homebrew#46939. Signed-off-by: Martin Afanasjew <martin@afanasjew.de>
