Ampache 5.4.0-release​

It might have only been 10 days ago but this release has some things in it that really can't be left in develop.
The release process is becoming a lot smoother as I work on improving the ampache-administrator repo.

First up; SPEED! after creating so many new columns we've added new indexes to speed things up.
If you have a large database you'll notice a really big decrease in response times across a lot of areas.

When I mean speed I mean some queries are 152 times faster than they were a week ago!

Second, so much more fixing. You're really going to enjoy how smooth things have gotten since that initial 5.0.0!

The CLI application cleanup:sortSongs has been fixed and greatly improved with a lot of new options and abilities

You can access --help on every cli with php bin/cli --help and help for each command same way php bin/cli cleanup:sortSongs --help
