Bug Description

I have a bunch of directories in my music collection that include AlbumArtSmall.jpg and Folder.jpg files. For each of these, the photo app shows the album covers in the photo collection.

The mediascanner should probably not index any images that are in the same directory as a music file, or at least not index any of the file names that might be used to supply album art without embedding it in the individual songs.

Added unity-scope-mediascanner because it seems it is affected too. I see the extra album art in the photo scope when I look at "My Photos", but I don't see the same album covers when I look at photos with the gallery-app. So, something in the way the gallery app and the scope deal with photos is different.

Regardless, mediascanner2 should probably be updated to deal with AlbumArtSmall.jpg files the same way as for cover.jpg, album.jpg and so on.
