The documentation for Bibliography.xnames says that with names=:last it should return "last names + first name abbreviation". However, in reality, it only returns the last names without first name initials. Thus, there is a mismatch between the documentation and the actual behavior.

Should this be fixed to that names=:last indeed includes the first name initials?

Having only the last names might still be useful in certain situations. So if the implementation of names=:last is fixed, should there also be a different option for names that returns only the last names? Maybe names=:lastonly?

Implement printing initials in xnames
b737627 
Implement `xnames(entry; names=:last)` to print first name initials (as
stated in the documentation) and `xnames(entry; names=:lastonly)` to
print last names only.

Add an option `and` to use put " and " between the last two names.

Closes Humans-of-Julia#48
