Broque Thomas ddbcdfe73a MusicBrainz: Filter live/compilation bootlegs + chronological sort
Three related fixes to make album/track results look like a real
artist discography instead of a firehose of fan-compiled bootlegs.

1. Drop 'compilation' from the release-group browse primary-type filter.
   MB's OR filter (`type=album|ep|single|compilation`) silently breaks
   when 'compilation' is included — Metallica drops from 1076 matches
   to 82 because `compilation` is a SECONDARY type on MB, not a primary
   type. The invalid value corrupts the filter for all types, not just
   itself. Now we request `type=album|ep|single` which returns the full
   1076; actual compilations (primary=Album + secondary=[Compilation])
   are filtered out by the studio-preference logic below.

2. Filter release-groups with non-studio secondary-types
   (Live/Compilation/Soundtrack/Remix/Demo/Mixtape/Interview/Audiobook/
   Audio drama). For Metallica, the first 100 browse results are 12
   studio albums + 83 live bootlegs + 5 compilations — without this
   filter the Albums section was dominated by 2019-2021 broadcast
   recordings. Falls back to the unfiltered list if filtering leaves
   the result set empty (covers live-only niche artists).

3. Sort chronologically ASC by first-release-date. Wikipedia-style
   discography ordering — debut album on top, then chronological.
   Previous DESC sort put the most recent release on top which, for
   prolific artists, meant 2020s material before their classics.

Track side of the same fix:

- Re-orders each recording's `releases` array to put studio releases
  first before `_recording_to_track` picks up the first release for
  album context. Without this, MB's arbitrary release order often
  buried the canonical studio album under random live bootlegs.
- Filters out recordings that only exist on live/compilation release-
  groups (keeps the ones with at least one studio release). Falls
  back to the full set if the artist has no studio recordings at all.
- Sorts recordings by earliest studio-release year ASC so classic
  tracks surface first.

Smoke test against live MB API confirmed:
- Artists: [Metallica score=100]
- Albums: Kill 'Em All (1983) → Ride the Lightning → Master of Puppets
  → ...And Justice for All → Metallica (Black Album) → Load → Reload
  → St. Anger → Death Magnetic → Lulu (2011)
- Tracks: real Metallica recordings (Killing Time, Nothing Else
  Matters, Creeping Death, etc.) — a few remastered demos still leak
  in where MB metadata quality is thin, but the bulk is correct.
- Total latency: 3.5 seconds.

4 new tests covering the studio filter, live-only fallback, preferred
release ordering, and live-only recording exclusion.

"""Tests for the MusicBrainz search adapter (core/musicbrainz_search.py).
Covers the behavior changes from the search-overhaul PR:
- Artist search is re-enabled and score-filtered
- Bare name queries route through artist-first → browse
- Structured 'Artist - Title' queries stay on text search
- Top-artist resolution is memoized per instance
- Cover Art URLs are constructed, not probed
