Multiple authors configuration

In addition to providing data for a single author as shown in the example above, multiple authors
can be configured via data/authors/*.(yml, toml, json) entries. If the key provided in
.Site.Params.author matched a data/authors/* entry, it will be used as the default. Overrides
per page can be done by a simple author = other_author_key entry in the front matter. For those
pages where you want to omit the author block completely, a .Params.noauthor entry is also
available.

Example author definition file:

name: John Doe
bio: The most uninteresting man in the world.
location: Normal, IL
website: http://example.com
thumbnail: images/john.png

Example override author per page file:

+++
author = ""
date = "2014-07-11T10:54:24+02:00"
title = ""
...
+++
