Add artist and album tags from track metadata

Funkwhale extracts track tags from the file’s metadata. Funkwhale applies these tags to the track’s album and artist by running a check every few days. You can run the process at any time using the funkwhale-manage command line interface.

The command performs the following actions:

Finds all local artists or albums with no tags.
Gets all the tags associated with the album/artist’s tracks.
Applies the track’s tags to the album/artist.
