api/soundcloud: add more metadata support
this PR adds and documents the composer, genre and album_artist metadata tags. it also adds more metadata parsing to the soundcloud service:
-
album -
album_artist -
composer -
genre -
date -
copyright
why?
having more metadata is always nice. this is a comparison with onthespot in foobar2000

PS: invest in a formatter. please
couldn't find a track with a composer but i pinky promise it gets parsed properly. here's another track which also has a genre specified:
soundcloud sadly (to my knowledge) doesn't tell you the track number of a song
couldn't find a track with a composer
if you can't find it, then it's probably not there. i wouldn't add something you're not sure in existence of. you can always add it later!
if you can't find it, then it's probably not there
turns out I just didn't look hard enough, this song by Imogen Heap has proper credits
