Replace munkres with lapjv for track assignment (#5564)

Fixes #5207.

This PR replaces the munkres library with lap (Linear Assignment
Problem solver) for computing optimal track assignments during the
auto-tagging process. The main changes are:

• Remove munkres dependency and add lap and numpy dependencies
• Refactor the track assignment code to use lap.lapjv() instead of
  Munkres().compute()
• Simplify cost matrix construction using list comprehension
• Move config value reading outside of track_distance function to
  improve performance

The motivation for this change comes from benchmark comparisons showing
that LAPJV (implemented in the lap library) significantly outperforms
the Munkres/Hungarian algorithm for the linear assignment problem. See
detailed benchmarks at: https://github.com/berhane/LAP-solvers

The change should provide better performance for track matching,
especially with larger albums, while maintaining the same assignment
results.

Testing Notes

• All existing tests pass without modification
• Track assignments produce identical results
• No behavioral changes in auto-tagging

Fix sorting on missing non-string fields (#5570)

Description

Fixes #5512. When sorting on a field, if the field is missing from some
items and it has a type, use the type's null value. Otherwise,
continue to fall back to an empty string, as I don't think there's much
to be done in that case.

The new test test_int_field_present_in_some_items fails without the
fix in query.py.

Use shutil.move() to move files. (#5123)

Fixes #4622.

I don't think this changes other behavior of the function, but it fixes
the problem with the moved files being created with the wrong
permissions for me.

Properly type db on the model, sort out generic types issues (#5545)

Thanks to @wisp3rwind's suggestion this PR adds types to the
relationship between Model, Database and Library.

Then I worked through the rest of the issues found in the edited files.
Most of this involved providing type parameters for generic types (or
defining defaults, rather 😉).

There queryparse module had a somewhat significant issue where the
sorting construction logic only expected to receive FieldSort
subclasses, while SmartArtistSort was not one. Thus SmartArtistSort
has now been forced to behave and is a FieldSort subclass. It's also
been moved to query.py module which is where the rest of sorts are
defined.

Stop perpetually writing mb_artistid, mb_albumartistid and albumtypes fields (#5540)

This PR fixes an issue where the beet write command repeatedly shows
differences for certain fields (mb_artistid, mb_albumartistid,
albumtype) even after writing the tags.
This happens because these fields are actually stored as lists in the
media files (mb_artistids, mb_albumartistids, albumtypes), but
beets maintains both single and list versions in its database.

This PR addresses this issue in a non-invasive way: the fix ensures
consistency between single fields and their list counterparts by:

1. When setting a single field value, making it the first element of the
   corresponding list
2. When setting a list, using its first element as the single field
   value

This resolves long-standing issues #5265, #5371, and #4715 where users
experienced persistent "differences" in these fields despite writing
tags multiple times.

Changes:

• Added ensure_consistent_list_fields() function to synchronize field
  pairs
• Applied this function during metadata application
• Added tests for all field combinations

Fixes #5265, #5371, #4715

Note: your music needs to be reimported with beet import -LI or
synchronised with beet mbsync in order to fix these fields!

Remove support for Python 3.8 (#5508)

• Drop support for EOL Python 3.8 making Python 3.9 the minimum
  supported version

• Take advantage of Python 3.9+ type hint syntax by:

  • Using list[T] instead of List[T] etc. from typing module
  • Using Type | None syntax for unions instead of Union[Type, None]
  • Moving collection type hints from typing to collections.abc
  • Using TYPE_CHECKING guard for runtime import optimization

Note: in #5503 we found that we cannot support Python 3.12 unless we
upgrade our minimum support Python to 3.9.
