Fix authors which are indexed as Last, First

[mekarpeles]

Likely a better task for http://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary-client/

I don't know whether they're best done as individual tasks or one integrated task which looks at whether author names are well formed (which could make use of the same name probabilities, etc), but related cleanups include:

• Names which have first and last in wrong order (typically because they originally had an additional comma separate piece like Jr or a postnominal)
• Author records containing multiple names e.g. Bill Smith and Mary Jones
• Names with spaces in the middle where combining diacritics were turned into spaces

@tfmorris @mekarpeles It doesn't looks there's an issue in the openlibrary-client repo. Are either one of you willing to be assignee for this issue? Note, being the assignee doesn't necessarily mean you are responsible for doing the work, just responsible for gathering/providing information to address the issue. From the Wiki.

The assigned owner is not necessarily the person who will fix the issue (it is not necessarily even established, at that point, if or when the issue will be fixed at all), but rather they are the person who will do as much or as little as needed to handle the issue (asking questions, soliciting input, establishing and updating the priority, checking if it is a duplicate, etc).

Once an issue is labeled State: Work In Progress, the owner is the individual doing the work, or leading/coordinating the group that is doing the work.

I've added labels per context: let me know your thoughts

I've removed the Solr tag. This can't be done there alone. It needs to be updated in the database.

re my March 2018 comment, I'm happy to keep the various cleanup tasks independent.

@jimman2003 would you like to be assigned to this one??
