feat: show English alias for non-Latin script artists

Extract primary English alias from MusicBrainz artist data when the
canonical name uses non-Latin script (CJK, Cyrillic, etc.). Display
it as the primary name in search results and artist detail header,
with the native script name as a subtitle beneath.

Example: 山下達郎 now shows 'Tatsuro Yamashita' prominently with
'山下達郎' as a subtitle. Artists with Latin names are unchanged.
