"Spela Bob Marley" failed in Music Assistant with "No playable items found".

Spotify refuses its top-tracks endpoint to apps in development mode, so our
patch falls back to searching artist:"Bob Marley" and keeps only tracks
credited to that artist's ID. Every hit came back credited to "Bob Marley &
The Wailers", which is a separate Spotify artist, so the filter removed all of
them.

When the ID match finds nothing, tracks whose credited artist name contains
the requested name are kept instead. "Spela Bob Marley" now plays "Is This
Love", "Could You Be Loved" and so on. Artists matched by ID behave as before.

Music Assistant caches top tracks for 14 days, so the empty entry for Bob
Marley was deleted from its cache after the deploy.
