MusicBrainz Server update, 2023-12-20

Winter release is coming, with a lot of refactoring behind the scenes. In particular, we fixed a lot of text in the website user interface, to more closely follow the design guidelines concocted by Aerozol for a long time. See the below list of tickets for more functional changes.

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