Add "Live" tag editing in entry views

Link to original bug (#326054)
Description
I have some suggestion about the tag editing: -The Right-Click->Preference way of editing tags doesn't seem very explicit, (this is the first time that I compile rhythmbox with tag editing and I wasn't able if after the compilation) so I think that there is probable better to give. In fact all the information that appears on the preference dialaog is shown on the list, so I thik that is better a "live" editing (I don't know if this is the best name). I think that an "Edit" entry that allow the user to directly edit the information on the list is more intuitive. The "Edit" entry should expose the same dialog that Propierties does when multiple files are selected, because you can't do batch editing on the list directly.
-I think that in the propierties dialog we should show the information that is not shown on the list only, and not everything (having in mind that we have editing support on the list already).
-Instant editing on Album and Artist specific lists should be allowed as a way of batch editing, sometimes I have collections of music with bad unicode in the artists name and editing directly on the artists list is far easy than select all the songs in the edit menu (or pressing Ctr+A if you already know the keybinding) and then Right-click->Propierties.
-The multiple files propierties dialog (batch editing) doesn't show the common titles if there are, for example, if I select five songs from Nirvana, Nirvana doesn't appear on the Artist entry.
-If I edit all the files from one album or artist, and change that propierty, that album (or artist) still in the collection, but empty.
-If I do simple or batch editing and I change the artist, the selection disappear, so if I type something wrong, it's hard to know where the files went. The interface should keep the selection shown even if they change the location rather than make them desappear.
Other information: I think that that's all, I don't know If I should file this suggestion as various bugs, so sorry If I'm doing wrong.
