Fixes IOTIDE-2201.
The issue was that the author could contain certain characters that broke json parsing. These characters were not previously escaped. This fix makes use of the Mercurial json function to output text in json format correctly. The hack for the description has now been removed, so the description too is parsed as a part of the json.
I also took the opportunity to fix up the name and email of the author. Whereas Git returns these separately, Mercurial returns them as a single string "name ". This had been returned as the name, with the e-mail being blank. This gave a minor inconsistency between Git and Hg. It also meant the correct avatars were not being used in Hg.
