Allow interchange of and / ampersand (&) #204

The scraper will not match and with & (ampersand) unless TMDB has both as alternate titles. Not all file systems allow or handle ampersands in file names properly, so it'd b e great if the scraper could match them. Example:

Cats and Dogs (2001).mkv

will not match TMDB because the actual title is "Cats & Dogs (2001)", but if you update TMDB with an alternate title of "Cats and Dogs" then the scraper will work. This is cumbersome maintenance on the TMDB side - would be better if TMDB would just look at "Cats and Dogs" and match it to "Cats & Dogs" by regex. thanks!
