add authors.rds to src/contrib/Meta similar to CRAN

[LiNk-NY]

CRAN added tools::CRAN_authors_db() to R-devel (r87038) for CRAN packages.. Can we do the same and save it under "src/contrib/Meta/authors.rds"?

aut <- tools::CRAN_authors_db()
dim(aut)
#> [1] 47442     7
head(aut)
#>       given  family                     email               orcid     role
