#43636: Additional wp_query 'fields' choices

Currently wp_query accepts an option called 'fields' with possible values
of: ids or id=>parent.
I propose that two new options be added: author_ids, titles.
My current use case is that I am needing to populate a list of all author
ids that meet certain post type and taxonomy parameters. I only need the
author ids and would like to exclude querying all of the fields for
performance reasons.
Looking through the wp_posts table the only other column that I think
there is a good use case for is the post_title column.
