MusicBrainz Server update, 2025-05-05

One last release before the schema change, mostly made up of small fixes and improvements. Among them, we have hopefully finally managed to find and eliminate the issue that caused the “External links” section of editors to sometimes fail to load entirely.

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