Subject: [PATCH] layouts/_default/baseof.html: Smarter meta author tag

Use the post's author from frontmatter, or else use the author from
the site's config. You MUST have one of these set or else you will
get an error during site generation. I think it's better to force
the user to define an author tag rather than only printing it if
it is defined because it is a good practice to help bots understand
content.
