Bandcamp UPC/barcodes and the importer

I submitted a PR some time ago that changed the logic in the script so that the release UPC is not set unless digital is the only available medium:

This was to avoid instances like you are discussing here. However Bandcamp does have a per medium UPC field in the page JSON, so I think a fix is possible.

Here’s the output from my Bandcamp release page parser:

> br = Djembe::Bandcamp.album("https://myonlydesirerecords.bandcamp.com/album/love-and-understanding-citadel-room-315-sweden-74")
> puts JSON.pretty_generate(br.releases)
