Correct Album Artists merge logic (#14655)

* Correct Album Artists merge logic and Artist equality checks

Correct Album Artists merge logic in MetadataService that causes empty
metadata sources to overwrite populated Album Artists arrays. This impacted
People-to-BaseItem relationships and caused orphaned records in Peoples.

Correct equality checks to be case-sensitive so Jelly metadata exactly
matches file metadata.

* use StringComparer.Ordinal
