Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/1461

Originally assigned to: @phanan on GitHub.

This issue replaces similar others like #764, #980, and #1333. Basically, the way Koel handles compilation albums could be improved (referring to https://github.com/koel/koel/pull/764#issuecomment-475105655):

A compilation album can/should have an overall "album artist," but each of the songs may or may not be performed by that artist or another.
Each of these artists (along with the album artist) should be treated equally: shown and searchable, with corresponding songs. However, the album should be treated as one single album.
A song can have an albumartist tag that should take precedence over artist
A song that has different albumartist and artist values should be considered belonging to a compilation
