Keep ID3 tag version

It's not easily possible. TagLib is not designed to work with multiple
ID3 versions (i.e. interally, it upgrades all ID3 frames to their
ID3v2.4 equivalents). I've added a way to save ID3v2.3 some time ago,
but I don't know how to handle this, because I can't guarantee that
all ID3v2.3 frames will be saved to the file if you use the ID3v2.3
version, due to using ID3v2.4 as the internal storage format.
