Enable whipper to connect to a custom MusicBrainz server

whipper is a command-line CD audio ripper for *nix systems aiming for accuracy over speed. It uses the MusicBrainz database for CD identification and for getting metadata.

Right now whipper is hardcoded to use the official https://musicbrainz.org/ server, but there are a variety of reasons one might want to use a custom server (e.g., for development or testing purposes, or because you're running your own mirror for speed).

Your task is to add an option or configuration setting for using another MusicBrainz server than musicbrainz.org.
