Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
This gives compiler maintainers a better degree of control
over how the version gets parsed and is a good way to ensure
that there are no changes of behaviour in the future.
Also, issue a warning if the version is invalid instead of erroring
so that we stay forwards compatible with possible future changes
of the versioning scheme.
Last, this improves the present test a little.
