Change GET /author/{name} route to actually search #52

I am not really sure what the purpose of the GET /author/name route is, since the Author response model is really just the author's name anyway. If you already have a name, why would you want to get the author response model? It would just give you that name. We should modify this route to accept query params and search by first, middle, and last, possibly doing the neighbour thing I've discussed previously.

@redbassett, do you want to add this to the spec, or shall I?

Alternatively this could go on another route. What does @redbassett think?
