[gnome-music/wip/mschraal/date-allow-none] corealbum: Allow None for year property

[Marinus Schraal <mschraal src gnome org>]

commit 046a4cf3c6d93e069020ecf6aaae1284b7580695

    corealbum: Allow None for year property
    
    Previously we would use a dashed string, but that is not how Music
    displays an unknown year anymore.
    
    Remove the dashed string in favour of setting the property to None if
    the year is unknown.
