fix(media): a shelf needs a name, so a mistagged chapter number parks

Plex's artist row for 272 chapters is a chapter number the ripper put in the
artist tag (0.4, 31, 05), which would have filed them under a shelf called 0.4.
A narrator is a person, so it must contain a letter; the same test is deliberately
not applied to a book title, which may honestly be 1984.
