Description
When typing queries on the command line, it's sometimes a pain to remember to use `albumartist` instead of `artist`. Beets should special-case this field and automatically use `albumartist` when the user types `artist`.
This should "just work", for example:
```
$ beet ls -a artist:beatles
```
Perhaps this should also happen for templates (`$artist` falls back to `$albumartist`).
(This came up in #307.)
