Vinicius GabrielandClaude Sonnet 5 c576003319 feat(naming): add {FirstAuthor} template token (#1322)
Closes #930.

## What

New `{FirstAuthor}` naming-template token. It renders only the first
author when metadata lists several ("Author1, Author2, Author3"), so
multi-author books can be filed alongside the rest of that author's work
instead of getting their own "Author1, Author2, ..." folder.

```
{Author}       -> Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
{FirstAuthor}  -> Terry Pratchett
```

## How

- Added to `KNOWN_TOKENS` in `shelfmark/core/naming.py`, positioned
before `author` so `{FirstAuthor}` isn't parsed as literal `First` +
`{Author}`.
- Derived inside `parse_naming_template` from the existing `Author`
value (split on `,` / `;`), so every caller — folder transfer, rename,
the settings preview — picks it up with no extra wiring. An explicit
`FirstAuthor` key in the metadata still wins if one is ever passed.
- `{Author}` behaviour is unchanged.
- Frontend `namingTemplatePreview.ts` token list + `KNOWN_TOKENS` kept
in lockstep (there's a test enforcing that), with a matching
`firstAuthor` helper.
- Settings field descriptions + `docs/environment-variables.md` list the
new token.

## Known limitation

A lone author written `Last, First` is split on the comma too and
renders as `Last` — the source metadata doesn't mark which form it is.
Called out in the token help text and covered by a test. `{Author}`
remains available for anyone who wants the raw string.

## Checks

- `make python-test` — 2963 passed
- `make python-lint` / `make python-format` / `make python-typecheck` /
vulture — clean
- `make frontend-test` — 187 passed · `frontend-lint` /
`frontend-format` / `frontend-typecheck` — clean
