Subject: rust: macros: remove `module!`'s deprecated `author` key

Commit 38559da6afb2 ("rust: module: introduce `authors` key") introduced
a new `authors` key to support multiple module authors, while keeping
the old `author` key for backward compatibility.

Now that most in-tree modules have migrated to `authors`, remove:
1. The deprecated `author` key support from the module macro
2. Legacy `author` entries from remaining modules
