This makes it easier to e.g. put AuthorIdentity values in configuration and API structs and have the values properly marshaled to/from string.
Since the type has grown we extracted it to a file of its own to keep the clutter in verifier.go down.
Alternate Designs
We could've implemented MarshalJSON and UnmarshalJSON instead, but MarshalText and UnmarshalText apply more broadly.
Possible Drawbacks
None.
