Improve movie release dates

Thanks.

This is because TMDB decides what date to provide when doing a search. For the movie details screen SeriesGuide can afford to download all release dates of a movie from TMDB and pick one that makes sense (but there are limitations). See the code documentation:

          * Replaces the release date of the movie with one of the given region, if available.
          * Picks the theatrical release or if not available the first date for that region.
          * This is not always the best approach, e.g. when viewing disc or digital releases this might
          * not display the correct date. But this is the best possible right now.
