[gnome-music/wip/jfelder/new-artist-design: 12/15] albumwidget: Add an active_coreobject parameter

[Marinus Schraal <mschraal src gnome org>]

commit 11fe917a562723b83ec8532936331d40b6f54802
Author: Jean Felder <jfelder src gnome org>

    albumwidget: Add an active_coreobject parameter
    
    The active_core_object parameter is used to set the player playlist
    when a song is activated. By default, the current album is used.
    This will be used by ArtistAlbumsWidget to play the songs of an
    artist.
