Closes #11702

Fixes the issue where MergeUI will crash if passed orphaned editions that have an authors field.

Technical

Limits author lookups to records with work-style authors fields.

Since edition authors aren't added to the primary work during merging, I'm not giving them the enhanced display that work authors get.

Testing

On testing you should be able to load https://openlibrary.org/works/merge?records=OL14857756W,OL24198259M and not crash MergeUI.
