MusicBrainz Server update, 2020-03-02

It’s now possible to find genres through the web service with a new /ws/2/genre lookup endpoint. Additionally, this update fixes some bugs and refactors a lot of stuff behind the curtains, including the continued conversion to React of edit display pages.

Thanks to chaban, cyna, jesus2099, kellnerd, and speardog who contributed through issue reporting, code changes, translation updates, and beta testing.

The git tag is v-2020-03-02.
