Discogs search endpoint returns 'genre', rather than 'genres'. So genres are never set after a search.

Asking for .genres after a search always requires a second api call, I think I have tracked this down to
https://www.discogs.com/developers#page:database,header:database-search
has the key as 'genre' and
https://www.discogs.com/developers#page:database,header:database-release
has the key 'genres'
(Both are arrays)

If you want my hacky fix for this issue in the vein of #144, let me know.

Hi there, new around here and to open source in general.
I noticed that when the search results are loaded there is a call to the MixedPaginationList._transform method, which already contains some code that duplicates a key of each of the returned item for labels and artists.

Would a solution to this not simply be to duplicate the returned genres to a genre field for releases, so that a second API call is not required? And on second thinking, I believe altering the field in the Release class to be genre rather than genres - but maybe this would break when calling the URL for a release. Happy to be told no if I'm missing something
Snippet bellow:

class MixedPaginatedList(BasePaginatedResponse):
    """A paginated list of objects identified by their type parameter."""
    def __init__(self, client, url, key):
        super(MixedPaginatedList, self).__init__(client, url)
        self._list_key = key

    def _transform(self, item):
        # In some cases, we want to map the 'title' key we get back in search
        # results to 'name'. This way, you can repr() a page of search results
        # without making 50 requests.
        if item['type'] in ('label', 'artist'):
            item['name'] = item['title']

        # proposed code
        if item["type"] == "release" :
            item["genre"] = item["genres"]

        return CLASS_MAP[item['type']](self.client, item)
