Describe the bug
Some metadata is downloaded, despite all the relevant settings being disabled

To Reproduce
Create a new music library, disable all metadata fetching settings; allow JF to complete scanning the files. For some (not all) artists, metadata will have been downloaded (images, bios, musicbrainz/audiodb artist IDs)

Expected behavior
No metadata should be downloaded at all

System (please complete the following information):

OS: Debian 11
Jellyfin Version: 10.7.7
