add new project_settings key to InlineBlameSettings called author_display. It defines how to display the author in git blame displays.

add new enum `GitAuthorDisplaySetting` with values `Author` (default), `You`, `AuthorYou`

Author -> Simply the default behaviour, e.g. `Linus Torvalds`
You -> Shows `You` inplace of author name on your machine. e.g. `You`
AuthorYou -> Both e.g. `Linus Torvalds (You)`

currently there is one issue. updating the setting doesn't reflect rendered blames. need to toggle inline blames to take effect.
