[gnome-music/wip/mschraal/date-allow-none: 2/2] corealbum: Allow None for year property

[Jean Felder <jfelder src gnome org>]

commit 87ced36481062bbab0bd06e042e3c152565fdb78
Author: Marinus Schraal <mschraal gnome org>

    corealbum: Allow None for year property
    
    Previously Music would use a dashed string to display an unknown
    release year, but more recently it does not show the year at
    all.
    
    Remove the dashed string in favour of setting the property to None if
    the year is unknown.
