Bug: 'Author' not a reserved handle

[andrewfairlie]

Description

I think author is meant to be a reserved handle but isn't in 3.0.3.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new field "Author" (in my case it was an Entries field)
2. Use it in a template and it'll treat it like craft\elements\User

Additional info

• Craft version: 3.0.3.1
• PHP version: 7.2

Yeah it’s a little awkward but since author is an entry-specific term, and fields are element agnostic, we decided not to prevent this. Someone might want to add an author field to assets or categories, etc., and that would be perfectly valid. Plus you can still access the field value on entries, via entry.getFieldValue('author').

This will also be fixed when #1524 happens.

Just got around to solving this for Craft 3.7:

• Category and tag groups no longer validate if their field layout contains a field called group.
• Entry types no longer validate if their field layout contains a field called author, section, or type.
• Volumes no longer validate if their field layout contains a field called folder or volume.
• The user field layout no longer validates if it contains a field called groups or photo.
