As a User I want to be able to deal with different spellings of the same author #244

Normalize known lexical variants of the same author, for example Linnaeus and Linné

We should exercise caution with this, but in case of Linnaeus it is probably a safe bet.

Thinking about it more, it is too error-prone to normalize authors, for example Sokoloff and Sokolov. I'll do this kind of adjustment in gnverifier directly.
