With original_date: yes, non-original month and day values are ignored for *album* imports

[snejus]

Problem

When I

• set the original_date configuration option to yes

original_date: yes

and I import an album which

• does not have original date set
• but has year, month and day set

Only the year field is taken into account, while month and day are set to 0.

Note: this only happens for album imports. Singletons are imported fine.

Example

See two examples of releases from Discogs and Bandcamp, both have release dates:

https://www.discogs.com/release/5999359-Andrius-Mamontovas-Geltona-%C5%BDalia-Raudona
https://furtivetrax.bandcamp.com/album/sympathies-viii

If you try importing any of these, and press C in the prompt (to see/edit the changes),
you will find that month: 0 and day: 0 are set for each of the tracks.

Then if you try to set original_date: no in your config, and re-import the same release,
you will see that the month and day fields are set correctly.

Setup
