This patch identifies the author of tracked changes written out to lyx file
with a hash value constructed from author+email

That way the author id never changes on write, allowing painless merging of
files containing tracked changes.

Comments very welcome - this is not final.

In particular I planned to change it to write the author's hash next to the
author info in the preamble. Then I would use that on read, giving the
possibility of using any arbitrary value as unique identifier.

Many thanks,

Greg.
