Summary: man: Impove handling of AUTHOR section.

Initial Comment:
To create the AUTHOR section, the current stylesheet
only processes Author and Editor. For attribution
purpose, It should process all of the following:

  Author, Authorgroup, Collab, Corpauthor,
  Corpcredit, Editor, Othercredit

And perhaps also the following:

  Corpname, Orgname, Publishername

And for each of those, in addition to any *name, it
should process any Affiliation, Email, Authorblurb or
Personblurb, and Contrib content found.

Consider the following:

    <othercredit>
      <personname>Hoge Moge</personname>
      <email>ho...@mo...</email>
      <affiliation><orgname>The Foo
Foundation</orgname></affiliation>
      <contrib>Developed the application</contrib>
    </othercredit>

The stylesheets should render that as:

  Hoge Moge <ho...@mo...>
  The Foo Foundation
    Developed the application.

The AUTHOR section should probably also contain
Copyright and Legalnotice information, if found.
