Title: Feature authors

2/3 of the major tasks to finish guest authors for NYO production use are complete:
* Associate real users to guest authors in the admin area.
* Guest author links and content pages work now

The last remaining piece is to override logic in coauthors-plus.php that puts the current WordPress user ID in place when a post is new. We need it to look for an associated guest author and use that instead.

Relevant changes to think more about:
* I had to change the tag name to be the author's display name for the /author/slug page to display the right title without bending over backward to detect if the author is a guest author, and if so, load the post just for the title—anyways, the upshot of that is we're on tag slug instead in https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/blob/feature-authors/template-tags.php#L21
* The 'user' capability_type was not working. Saving a guest author yielded an error every time. I removed it since the post capability_type seems to suffice for our purposes, but if I was just doing something please correct me.
