MusicBrainz Server update, 2021-10-25

This release includes a bunch of fixes for collections, URLs and relationship display. It also further improves the external links editor thanks to yyoung, by adding highlights to indicate what is being removed, added or edited in the same way as in other relationship editors. Additionally, the last of the edit detail pages has now been converted to React.

A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
