Diagnosing multiple tag formats in a file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is no easy way to see if a file has multiple tag formats in it e.g.
Vorbis and ID3.  mp3tag offers this ability and it is important in being
able to diagnose issues where a library app shows up tags or organises your
library in unexpected ways.

Connected to this is the ability to configure puddletag to remove incorrect
tag types from a file by rewriting the tags using the appropriate format
for the file type.  In mp3tag its a pretty simple matter of selecting all
affected files and doing a tag cut/ tag paste operation to rewrite all tags
in the format appropriate for the file type (subject to the user having
configured it to remove incorrect tag types from a file).

The consolidation of data from different tag types should probably be as
follows:
- non-blank entries of the correct type override non-blanks of the
incorrect type
- blanks/ missing tags are filled from incorrect type where they exist.

e.g.

FLAC file contains the following tags:

of type Vorbis Comment:
ARTIST: "Beyonce"
YEAR: "2009"

of type ID3:
ALBUM: "Dutty Rock"

if puddletag is configured to rwmove incorrect tag types, a tag cut/tag
paste should have the following end result:

FLAC file contains the following tags:

of type Vorbis Comment:
ARTIST: "Beyonce"
YEAR: "2009"
ALBUM: "Dutty Rock"

of type ID3:
N/A

In a similar vein a user should have the option of configuring puddletag to
replace ID3 2.3 with ID3 2.4, 1.1 etc. and visa versa.

The date today is the 12 May 2010. I'll start on this on the 12th (read 30th) 
of 
June 2010, because I'm lazy and it'll require changing a bunch of stuff.
