Inconsistent import behavior between `ignore_data_tracks` and `ignore_video_tracks`

[skiinganchor]

On beet import, when you have those types on their default values, if an album is not found and you select ID, ignore_video_tracks=yes will even not find the album. ignore_data_tracks=yes will find it.

Even though there is no semantic difference between them in the docs:

• https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/config.html#ignore-data-tracks
• https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/config.html#ignore-video-tracks

Problem

When I try to import 3f9d3f93-a79b-43d1-8344-4c0dc83cd16c with ignore_data_tracks=yes will find it.
But when I try to import b76a7a24-cacd-4200-8be2-f873c0f76872 witth ignore_video_tracks=yes it will not find it.
