Description

update guide with the new features introduced by https://github.com/CycloneDX/specification/pull/379

❗ this issue is only about `component.author` & `component.manufacturer`

- add `component.manufacturer` as "OrganizationalEntity"
-- fixes #346
- add `component.authors` as list of "OrganizationalContact"
-- fixes #335
- deprecate `component.author` in favour of `component.authors` and `component.manufacturer`
- reason: value was described to be a string that could represent person(s) or organization(s).
So let's introduce dedicated fields for both of these:
Organizations are represented by the new `@.manufacturer` &
persons are represented by the new `@.authors`.
