if import.from_scratch was set in the config, runnning mbsync would
clear any metadata not provided by MBz (replay gain, lyrics, genres...).
we now ignore this setting when running mbsync to preserve metadata.
Fixes: #6613
* the pugin used an empty format string unless --count was provided,
resulting in outputs like `: 1`. it now correctly displays duplicated
items.
* --count was ignored (aside from above bug), and item count was always
appended to output.
The import hook prompted for input even when quiet mode was active, so
non-interactive imports blocked on the corrupt-file dialog. Return early
from `on_import_task_before_choice` when `import.quiet` is set so the
importer falls back to its summary judgment.
Previously, the original_date year/month/day override was applied in
merge_with_album after building the merged dict. Move this logic into
a cached_property on AlbumInfo so album-level metadata also reflects
the original release date. Fixes 🐛`6577`.
Sync with upstream beets/master and resolve changelog conflict,
keeping only the Spotify batch entry in the Unreleased section.

The musixmatch URL slug builder did not replace curly apostrophes
(U+2018, U+2019) before applying the whitespace-to-dash rule, so titles
like "If They're Shooting at You" produced a slug with the raw quote
preserved and the lookup failed.
Add a REPLACEMENTS entry that maps both curly quote codepoints to a
dash before the rest of the substitutions run.
Replace inline lambda with named `materialize` helper to correctly
pass plugin method and arguments to the thread executor, preventing
all futures from calling the last plugin only.
