Title:
  Rhythmbox plugin "Song Lyrics" not working

Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With either rhythmbox-plugins-3.0.2-0ubuntu2 (Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon) or 
rhythmbox-plugins-3.3-1ubuntu7 (Linux Mint 18.2 XFCE) when the "Song Lyrics" 
plugin is enabled and the following are checked, lyrics are never displayed:
  * WinampCN (www.winampcn.com)
  * Dark Lyrics (darklyrics.com)
  * Jetlyrics (jetlyrics.com)
  * I didn't use the other two since I speak only English

  Looking at the code in '/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/lyrics/' and
  experimenting with the queries suggests that the remote web sites have
  changed.

  For example, 'JetlyricsParser.py' has:
  * q = title + ' - ' + artist
  * url = 'http://www.jetlyrics.com/search.php?q=%s' % (q)

  But http://www.jetlyrics.com/search.php?q=acdc-hells+bells is 404,
  while doing it manually from http://www.jetlyrics.com/ yields
  http://lyrics.jetmute.com/search.php?q=acdc+hells+bells&search=Search
  with some results.

  Likewise DarkLyricsParser.py has:
  * url = 'http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/%s/%s.html' % (best_match.artist, 
best_match.album)

  But http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/acdc/hells+bells.html returns a
  404/search page and the  search "acdc hells bells" from that page is
  null but manually working through the form you can get
  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/acdc/hellsbells.html.

  In those examples both the base web site and search strings have
  changed, rendering the plugin code out of date.

  Also, CTRL-L no longer works in either Mint 17's RB 3.0.2 or Mint 18's
  3.0.0, but "View > Song Lyrics" works.
