…pdate tests - Updated logic so that only the copilot user is allowed to bypass missing name and email checks in pull request processing. - All other users without name/email are marked as unknown and a log message is generated. - Added and updated tests to verify that copilot is accepted and handled as expected.

Description
This PR improves the handling of pull requests and commits authored by GitHub IA, Copilot, who may not have a real GitHub account or may lack a defined name or email.
It prevents exceptions and ensures that these contributions are not discarded during indexing or processing.
Changes
Special handling for the "copilot" user:
ContributorMetadataActionis created with:"copilot""[email protected]"Fallback for missing user name or email:
user.getName()oruser.getEmail()arenullor throw exceptions, the code now defaults to:user.getLogin()user.getLogin() + "@unknown.user"Preserves previous logic for truly missing users:
Motivation
GitHub Copilot and other bots can appear as authors of commits and pull requests, but may not exist as real users in GitHub.
Without this special handling, such PRs would be discarded or cause exceptions, impacting the visibility and traceability of AI-generated or bot-generated contributions.
See JENKINS-75704 for further information.
Submitter checklist
No automated tests were added because this is a trivial change: it only handles null values or exceptions when fetching the GitHub user's name/email for logging purposes, defaulting to safe values if missing. It does not affect business logic or the core functionality of the plugin.
