- Add Library._make_table() override to automatically migrate genres when database schema is updated
- Migration splits comma/semicolon/slash-separated genre strings into genres list
- Writes changes to both database and media files with progress reporting
- Remove lazy migration from correct_list_fields() - now handled at database level
- Remove migration-specific tests (migration is now automatic, not lazy)
- Update changelog to reflect automatic migration behavior

Simplify multi-genre implementation based on maintainer feedback (PR #6169).
Changes:
- Remove multi_value_genres and genre_separator config options
- Replace complex sync_genre_fields() with ensure_first_value('genre', 'genres')
- Update all plugins (Beatport, MusicBrainz, LastGenre) to always write genres as lists
- Add automatic migration for comma/semicolon/slash-separated genre strings
- Add 'beet migrate genres' command for explicit batch migration with --pretend flag
- Update all tests to reflect simplified approach (44 tests passing)
- Update documentation
Implementation aligns with maintainer vision of always using multi-value genres
internally with automatic backward-compatible sync to the genre field via
ensure_first_value(), eliminating configuration complexity.
Migration strategy avoids problems from #5540:
- Automatic lazy migration on item access (no reimport/mbsync needed)
- Optional batch migration command for user control
- No endless rewrite loops due to proper field synchronization

## Description
Fixes#5625
When `convert.never_convert_lossy_files` is enabled, `beet convert` was
ignoring the explicit `--format` option and just copying the lossy files
without
transcoding them. For example:
- `beet convert format:mp3 --format opus`
would still produce MP3 files instead of OPUS.
Change:
- Allows to override options `never_convert_lossy_files`, `max_bitrate`
or `no_convert` for `beet convert` as well as trying to convert to the
same format as existing already with a new option `--force`. That way,
for example lossy files selected by the query are transcoded to the
requested format anyway.
- Keeps existing behavior for automatic conversion on import (no CLI
override there).
- Adds tests to cover checking whether `--force` correctly overrides
settings or CLI options.
- Documents the behavior in the convert plugin docs

This plugin aims to address the shortcomings of the %title function, as
brought up in issues #152, #3298 and an initial look to improvement with
#3411. It supplies a new string format command, `%titlecase` which
doesn't interfere with any prior expected behavior of the `%title`
format command.
It also adds the ability to apply titlecase logic to metadata fields
that a user selects, which is useful if you, like me, are looking for
stylistic consistency and the minor stylistic differences between
Musizbrainz, Discogs, Deezer etc, with title case are slightly
infuriating.
This will add an optional dependency of
[titlecase](https://pypi.org/project/titlecase/), which allows the
titlecase core logic to be externally maintained.
If there's not enough draw to have this as a core plugin, I can also
spin this into an independent one, but it seemed like a recurring theme
that the %title string format didn't really behave as expected, and I
wanted my metadata to match too.
- [x] Documentation. (If you've added a new command-line flag, for
example, find the appropriate page under `docs/` to describe it.)
- [x] Changelog. (Add an entry to `docs/changelog.rst` to the bottom of
one of the lists near the top of the document.)
- [x] Tests. - Not 100% coverage, but didn't see a lot of other plugins
with testing for import stages.
Following #4709 and #5447, the web plugin used single-quotes (ie. string
litteral) in the SQL query for table columns. Thus, for instance, the query
`GET /item/values/albumartist` would return the litteral "albumartist"
instead of a list of unique album artists.
- Use self.config instead of global config, which was interfering whith
other plugin tests (test_importsource) when run alongside (eg in CI)
- Rename test
