utils: Fix some author parsing errors

Digging into the production logs of the npm loader, the following errors are reported:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/swh/loader/core/loader.py", line 895, in load
    more_data_to_fetch = self.fetch_data()

    author_str.replace('<>', '').replace('()', ''),

    author_str = _author_str(package_json['authors'][0])
KeyError: 0

The first error happens when the author field in a package.json file corresponds to a list instead of a string, while the second one happens when the author field corresponds to a dict instead of a string,
