Bug: {{author}} & {{tags}} not showing up when using {{#prev_post}} or {{#next_post}}

[ireade]

Issue Summary

In my post.hbs, I wrote -

{{#prev_post}}
<h2>{{title}}</h2>
<h3>Posted on {{date format="D MMMM YYYY"}} by {{author}}</h3>
{{excerpt words="80"}}
{{/prev_post}}

Everything but the {{author}} was outputted.

Hi @ireade thanks for the bug report. Good find, I'll betcha {{tags}} won't work either 😞

This is because when we fetch the next / prev post over the API, we do so with:

/api/posts/:id?include=prev or /api/posts/:id?include=next

Following this convention, if we want to include tags and authors in the response we'd need to tell the API to do that, something like:

/api/posts/:id?include=prev,prev.tags,prev.author or /api/posts/:id?include=next,next.tags,next.author

However, the API doesn't support this yet and I'm wondering if we ought to actually restructure this to be:

/api/posts/:id/prev?include=tags,author or /api/posts/:id/next?include=tags,author so that it's neater.

The difference between the first and the second version is the first fetches the main post (which we already have) along with it's next/previous post, where the latter would be more efficient and return only the requested post.
