Lock movie specific values to not being updated automatically #14

Sometimes IMDb delivers data, which one will specifically decide to overwrite it with own data or leave blank. When automatically updating the movie collection from IMDb, that movie specific data should not be updated.

As an example, there are some (mostly older) movies, that have more than one or two names in a single language. The fetched name is correct, but maybe one will decide to use an other name he recognizes the most. This could also help with foreign movies where the title is written in non-latin characters.

When updating a specific movie manually, maybe there is a possibility to display a diff-like view, where the user could decide which data to keep.
