rust: macros: allow non-ASCII characters in `authors`

Module authors may have non-ASCII characters in their names. In C,
`MODULE_AUTHOR` allows arbitrary string literals which are emitted as
raw UTF-8 bytes into the `.modinfo` section, and multiple in-tree
modules use non-ASCII author names.

Originally, the single `author` field permitted arbitrary string literals
including non-ASCII characters. When support for multiple authors was
introduced in commit 38559da6afb2 ("rust: module: introduce `authors`
key"), it reused the `expect_string_array` helper that had originally been
added for module aliases. Because that helper enforced an ASCII check,
`authors` inadvertently became restricted to ASCII-only string literals.
Later, when the macro parsing was rewritten to use `syn` in commit
c578ad703ae9 ("rust: macros: use `syn` to parse `module!` macro"), this
restriction was carried over by using AsciiLitStr in `authors` type.

Change the element type of `authors` in `ModuleInfo` from `AsciiLitStr`
to `LitStr` so that UTF-8 author names are permitted.
