While commit objects usually should have only one author field, our commit parser actually handles the case where a commit has multiple author fields because some tools that exist in the wild actually write them. Detection of those additional author fields is done by using a simple `git__prefixcmp`, checking whether the current line starts with the string "author ". In case where we are handed a non-NUL-terminated string that ends directly after the space, though, we may have an out-of-bounds read of one byte when trying to compare the expected final NUL byte. Fix the issue by using `git__prefixncmp` instead of `git_prefixcmp`. Unfortunately, a test cannot be easily written to catch this case. While we could test the last error message and verify that it didn't in fact fail parsing a signature (because that would indicate that it has in fact tried to parse the additional "author " field, which it shouldn't be able to detect in the first place), this doesn't work as the next line needs to be the "committer" field, which would error out with the same error message even if we hadn't done an out-of-bounds read. As objects read from the object database are always NUL terminated, this issue cannot be triggered in normal code and thus it's not security critical.
