avoid using Various Artists when not all providers use it #55

I just recently imported a single (permalink) with release 4 artists and found that Spotify gave the release artist as "Various Artists", yet all other providers listed out all the artists.

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Spotify does this, but I can't say for certain if they do this in general or not. either way, I think Harmony should err on the side of crediting the artists listed rather than Various Artists, at least in cases like this

beatport lists all artists for collections, so this has to be a spotify specific thing e.g. https://www.beatport.com/release/hardwave-chapter-3/4319435

could be Spotify specific in this case, but I think it'd be good to have this logic for other cases that come up down the road
