 Patch is fairly simple:

 1. Create `get_author_posts_link()` function, which is identical to
 current `the_author_posts_link()` function, except that the output is
 *returned* instead of *echoed*.
 2. Change `the_author_posts_link()` to echo the output of
 `get_author_posts_link()`.

 The primary purpose for creating the patch is to allow for the return
 value to be used in translation strings via `sprintf()`. Though, I'm sure
 there will be other uses.
