Make some options impossible for characters/artist names, and some for real people/legal name

      Currently, all options are possible whatever type of artist is entered. But I believe the intention is to have a distinction between a legal person (Mr Dick) and a stagename/character (Fish). As there is no way to add 'just' a legal name, see eg https://musicbrainz.org/edit/57074873 , to an artists, it could be clearer when what applies.

      So possibly remove birthdate at the character: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/b81d55fe-a17d-4100-91ad-4dd76be51345
      and replace that with 'start-end'
      And have releases under the legal person grouped per character/artistname.

      eg https://musicbrainz.org/artist/23cb5ee8-0d63-4e39-8d0e-8541d6d2483b
      does not show any releases, but Hila has one:
      https://musicbrainz.org/artist/b81d55fe-a17d-4100-91ad-4dd76be51345

      This would also help in reducing duplicated entries (eg one wiki page applied to multiple artist entries).
