Use source item author names to generate default project author string. #108

The 'Author(s)' field on the Export Project panel is now prefilled with a comma-separated list of the display names belonging to the authors of the source content. This can then be modified by the exporter.

As part of this change, the formatting of author info in PDF output has been improved, to ensure centering of long text.

The impetus here is that the project "author" should generally reflect the author of the constituent parts. This info is hard to assemble manually, so we probably help lots of users by suggesting it automatically. For those projects where it's not appropriate (where 'author' should be an editor name or something) it's still easy for the user to customize at the time of export.
