v1.2.1

What's Changed

• Fix initials() interpolating the literal None for empty name parts when empty_attribute_default = None (e.g. "J. None D."); empty parts now render as an empty string and a fully-empty result returns empty_attribute_default
• Add python -m nameparser "Name String" command-line helper that prints a parsed name
• Reorganize the test suite from a single tests.py into a tests/ pytest package
