Show if a release is "windowed" and for what time period. #849

Now that the first "windowed" release has arrived, it would be nice to be able to have that information when getting an album's metadata. I would like to be able to visually show my users that a release can only be listened to if they are a Spotify subscriber.

I know at the moment it seems that it's only for the first 2 weeks of an albums release, but it might be nice to be able to see actual dates, and not just a "window": "true" key:value pair.

I envision it being shown with a simple "window" object like so:

"window": {
  "begin": "2018-04-13",
  "end": "2018-04-27"
}

I'm open to ideas and suggestions of what that would look like, but I do think we need some way of seeing this from the API.
