Description
There are use cases where it is nice to be able to query beets DB on track level, but show results on album level. Currently, If I use `beet ls -a ...`, then I do see albums only, but the queries involving track fields are ignored. It would be great to see the list of albums in which at least one track matched a track-level query.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the `beet ls -a` command and the query handling for track fields. Trace how matching tracks are converted to album-level results, then verify that an album is listed when at least one of its tracks matches while preserving the existing album-only output behavior.
