Open Graph protocol author pages: use profile not author type

Description

Use Open Graph protocol type=profile for author pages, replacing type=author. Add user first and last name if provided.

There have been multiple versions of ​Open Graph protocol over the years. An ​older version supported author, hotel, city, and many other types. The current version of Open Graph protocol includes a few global types with additional types declared in custom mappings via RDFa Core 1.1. The default type for any given page is "website;" if a better match is not available an indexer might treat the page as a generic webpage.

The "​profile" Open Graph protocol global type is a good match for author. This patch also adds first and last name from WordPress user data.

Also changed space indents in jetpack.php discovered while testing my change.
