Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] new: Add a new parameter (name/emailid) in the "new" script

This patch another optional interactive prompt to enter the
author name and email id for each new test file that is
created using the "new" file.

The sample output looks like something like the following:

./new selftest
Next test id is 007
Append a name to the ID? Test name will be 007-$name. y,[n]:
Creating test file '007'
Add to group(s) [auto] (separate by space, ? for list): selftest quick
Enter <author_name> <email-id>: Nirjhar Roy <nirjhar.roy.lists@...il.com>
Creating skeletal script for you to edit ...
 done.
