Fix bug in author parsing in TheNamibian

[addie9800]

The author parsing crashed, if it encounters an article with more than author. This is caused that the element element with path Person can be of type list. in which case the get() function that is called within get_value_by_key_path() causes an Error, since it is not implemented for a list.

@addie9800 Thanks for catching this! Could you, by any chance, provide the URL leading to the parser crash? I would love to take a look at this and see if it makes sense to rewrite some base functionalities.

Unfortunately not, since it seems to have been a mistake. Atleast I can't find any article anymore that would cause that crash. But as far as I remember I think the problematic JSON looked something like this:

{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://www.namibian.com.na/#/schema/person/71d23d353c0a85623bc0847105ce9089","name":"Another Author","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https://www.namibian.com.na/#/schema/person/image/4979e099ca67b0b40e0680c425b7afaa","url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7e3425284010a188970bae2a44e8dd26?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7e3425284010a188970bae2a44e8dd26?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Envaalde Matheus"},"url":"https://www.namibian.com.na/author/envaalde-matheus/"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://www.namibian.com.na/#/schema/person/71d23d353c0a85623bc0847105ce9089","name":"Envaalde Matheus","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https://www.namibian.com.na/#/schema/person/image/4979e099ca67b0b40e0680c425b7afaa","url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7e3425284010a188970bae2a44e8dd26?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7e3425284010a188970bae2a44e8dd26?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Envaalde Matheus"},"url":"https://www.namibian.com.na/author/envaalde-matheus/"}]}

@MaxDall conincidentally, I just found another article with the same issue: https://www.namibian.com.na/churches-want-corruption-free-leader/

@addie9800 I fixed this using xpath_search. Seeing this I decided to deprecate get_value_by_key_path. I will open another PR to do so. Thanks for catching this 👍
