Allow name sanitizer to be disabled with --no-auto-sanitize

Make it possible to completely disable the name sanitizer by the
--no-auto-sanitize flag. Previously the sanitizer was run on user
remapped names. As the sanitizer rewrites perfectly legal git
names (such as __.*) this is probably not what the user wants.

Closes frej#155.

+When the -B and -T flags are used, you will probably want to use the
+-n flag to disable the built-in (broken in many cases) sanitizing of
+branch/tag names. In the future -n will become the default, but in
+order to not break existing incremental conversions, the default
