[mb-style] ARs for labels

[Olivier]

Having labels entries is an extremely good news!!!

I've done some reasearch about jazz labels, that lives under
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Jazz/Labels

Some are very incomplete and the whole lot is messy, but it contains some ideas.

>    * <labelB> is a sublabel of of <labelA>

I guess we need to have dates for that:
  * <labelA> is a parent label of <labelB> for period YYYY-YYYY
as a label may changes hands quite a few times.

Plus, label can reissue another label catalog that they either bought
or leased, be it by buying and disbanding a label, or by buying the
catalog of an already dead label.
Do we need a different AR for that?
Like:
"Label A is reissuing catalog from Label B"

Label--Person

Person B founded Label A
Person B was engineer for Label A (period of time)
Person B was musical director for Label A (period of time)
...


Also, can we have:
- a "label home country" field
- a LC code field
- a "date of foundation" and "date of disband"

is the one I put most research in, as an example.

This is really exciting!
Thanks for working on it!
