Another round of bugfixes. Transcoding now properly clamps target channels to codec limits, WAV files play directly in browsers without unnecessary transcoding, and the scanner picks up `ORIGYEAR` tags for VorbisComment and MP4 formats. Cover art handling got a few fixes too, including configurable max upload size. Plugin developers now get the file path in TrackInfo for Scrobbler and Lyrics plugins.

##### Configuration Changes
