MusicBrainz Server update, 2019-08-22

Here is our summer vacation homework for the MusicBrainz Server: mainly improving the Guess Case tool, fixing a fair amount of bugs and continuing the migration of templates to React.

Thanks to ferbncode for fixing the Dockerfile that creates a test database. Thanks also to acid2, alastairp, bort27, brianfreud, CatQuest, chaban, cyberskull, florentl, fmera, foolip, hibiscuskazeneko, Jeluang, liftarn, michelv, mineo, murdos, paulakreuzer, PoQStacker, tommycrock, yindesu, zexpe, and everyone who tested the beta version, reported issues, or updated website localizations.

The git tag is v-2019-08-22.
