Fix: Properly handle article author updates in Avo

- Add create_model_record to handle author assignment on new articles
- Extract author assignment logic to private method
- Add virtual author_id attribute to Article model for Avo compatibility
- Specify use_resource for Author to ensure proper resource handling
- Add handler for both create and update operations

The author association now properly saves when creating or updating articles.
