MB. remember last edit notes (and dates) for Greasemonkey

Script Summary: Remembers last edit notes and dates in (test.)musicbrainz.org and acoustid.org

Version: 2012-05-16_1216

License: GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html)

Remembers last edit notes and dates — handy for repetitive edit sessions
Allows quick copy : begin date ←→ end date

If you use nikki’s paste-a-date, it bugs this script’s date memory, here is a fixed version of pastadate™ until nikki eventually merges it.
