[Enhancement]: Chapter editor "Set chapters from tracks" button to use ID3 title tags instead of filename

Describe the feature/enhancement

The example book I'm using is B002UZLO80 - The Modern Scholar - The American Legal Experience . In a typical process, I pull and convert the audiobook from Audible and then convert it to MP3 files which are split up by chapter. For this book example, the data from Audible for the chapters list only the chapters, thus I have manually edited the MP3 files to include a Title for each chapter. This is a holdover from when I was utilizing Emby.

Here is the screen shot from OpenAudible showing that only chapters are being downloaded from Audible being an older title: image

Here is a screenshot from MP3Tag of that book. Notice that I have added chapter titles based upon the provided PDF book: image

The filename is set up to be track number - book title - chapter title.mp3 . Because of file naming limitations, the colon is stripped out.

However, when I look at this title in Audiobookshelf 2.8.1: image

Somehow, there is a merging of data, and the chapter titles are being duplicated. However, if I do the "Set Chapters From Tracks":

Now, I have to go through and edit the titles which is a time-consuming process. It would be nice for Audiobookshelf to pull the MP# title tags and import them into the database. It would be especially handy if I can tag multiple books and update the chapter data.
