/*
 * How to use this module?
 *
 * - First build a release object (see expected format below) that you'll fill in from source of data
 * - Call as follows, e.g.:
 *     var parameters = MBReleaseImportHelper.buildFormParameters(parsedRelease, optionalEditNote);
 * - Then build the HTML that you'll inject into source site page:
 *     var formHtml = MBReleaseImportHelper.buildFormHTML(parameters);
 * - Addinionally, you can inject a search link to verify that the release is not already known by MusicBrainz:
 *     var linkHtml = MBReleaseImportHelper.buildSearchLink(parsedRelease);
 *
 * Expected format of release object:
 *
 *     release = {
 *         title,
 *         artist_credit,
 *         type,
 *         status,
 *         language,
 *         script,
 *         packaging,
 *         country,
 *         year,
 *         month,
 *         day,
 *         labels = [ { name, mbid, catno }, ... ],
 *         barcode,
 *         urls = [ {url, link_type }, ... ],
 *         discs = [
 *             {
 *                 title,
 *                 format,
 *                 tracks = [
 *                     { number, title, duration, artist_credit },
 *                     ...
 *                 ]
 *             },
 *             ...
 *         ],
 *     }
 *
 *     where 'artist_credit' has the following format:
 *
 *     artist_credit = [
 *         {
 *             credited_name,
 *             artist_name,
 *             artist_mbid,
 *             joinphrase
 *         },
 *         ...
 *     ]
