Release 2.3.0rc4

The issue appears together with --intent-to-add flag for adding new
files. Original testing has been performed by having already added new
files, thus it passed all checks.

This commit also adds `commit_author` option which will allow to
overwrite the author.

 * The code must follow the exception safety, unless it is explicitly asked by end user. It means that most exceptions must be handled and printed to log, no other actions must be done (e.g. raising another exception).
 * For the external command `ahriman.core.util.check_output` function must be used.
