Add option to preserve tags 100% / preserve custom tag fields

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Custom tags fields get renamed or purged, when transconding from the same format. This breaks how I made albums be presented in foobar2000.

fre:ac also removes TRACK=0 or TRACK=00! (I use it for Hidden Track One Audio files).

before: 2020-02-29_16-59-58_Mp3tag_Tags

after: 2020-02-29_16-47-58_Mp3tag_Tags

Describe the solution you'd like Just copy the tags 1:1 when transcoding from FLAC to FLAC, WavPack to WavPack, MP3 to MP3, etc. When transcoding to a different (tag) format use the same translation mechanisms as Mp3Tag or similar taggers. Also there's no way to omit the addition of the ENCODER tag field, at least I haven't found an option to disable it.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not using fre:ac and use an ancient single-threaded DOS batch script and command line tools that preserve tags.
