Fix MBID Mismatch Detector comparing MB title against DB title (filename) instead of embedded tag

The scan was reading `t.title` from the database for comparison, which is
populated from the filename rather than the file's embedded TITLE tag. Any
track whose filename differs from the clean MB title (e.g. includes artist,
album, bitrate) was incorrectly flagged as a mismatch.

Fix: extend `_read_mbid_from_file` → `_read_file_tags` to also read the
embedded TITLE tag (ID3 TIT2, Vorbis `title`, MP4 `©nam`). The comparison
now uses the embedded title, falling back to the DB title only when no TITLE
tag is present in the file.

Fixes #296
