fix: copy albums whole when a re-level changes only their tags
A ReplayGain album gain belongs to the whole record, so a track arriving or
leaving rewrites the tags on every one of its siblings. rsgain fits the new
values into the padding its previous write left behind, which changes neither
the file's size nor its mtime:

  before: 277757 bytes, mtime 1577880000, album gain 3.75 dB
  after:  277757 bytes, mtime 1577880000, album gain 6.25 dB

Those are the two things rsync's quick check compares, so the siblings are
invisible to it and the device keeps the old gains indefinitely.

The track that arrived or left is always visible. So sync-to-ipod.sh now runs a
second pass over the albums the first one touched, with --ignore-times to
defeat the same quick check. touched_albums.py derives the list from rsync's
own report of what it moved, which costs no extra traversal of either tree, and
leaves out the tracks the first pass has already copied so a whole-album
quality upgrade is not sent twice. Albums whose file set has not changed are
left alone.

A dry run reports how many further tracks are involved.
