Description

Related to #4263

* [ ] Give librarians a `mark as verified` button on the Author's page to verify that the basic data and/or author image are correct. Verified authors might have their images, name, and other choice fields locked so that neither bots nor humans accidentally clobber their data, merge them, etc. @jimchamp
* [ ] We can get a top 1k list of authors from e.g. Better World Books and have our librarians team go through these authors, fix them, and mark them as verified. This would improve the data for ourselves and for friends. @seabelis
* [ ] We might add verified author images into solr so partners & patrons can query them @cdrini
