About @author tags

Hi, All

I want to remind that many source files (hundreds) in the repo containing @author tags, while a certain ASF projects explicitly recommended against this tag and asked committers/contributors to remove them. For CloudStack, no matter what the policy is, we need to add it in document 'code convention' and keep source codes in a unified style.

Open for all comments and flames.

Regards
Mice

Many apache projects have a QA review bot in their CI that -1's changes with author tags, so from an apache-fixation perspective this is good.  Programming is an egoless act anyways, right?  :)

If no one shows concern about this, I will remove all author tags from non third-party source files, and update code convention doc on wiki.
Hope it is not being rude to erase your name from your masterpiece :)
