#829: patch to assist scheduling unique (new) movies

I run a terabyte server which I use to store edited movies. The server is
accessable to mythtv via nfs. This the "Utilities/setup | Setup | Media
setup | Videos settings | General settings" and "directory which holds
videos" (mounted as '/VideoLib'). Currently, I have 300+ movies in that
directory. I found two issues with the stock behavior of "Manage
recordings | Schedule recordings | Search lists | Movies" which made the
scheduling rather tedious:
1) by nature, the schedule is organized by date + time + title. This
causes replications I had to weed my way through, I found that I would
duplicate recording of the same movie twice as I forgot that I had already
scheduled an earlier showing.
2) Once I got up around 80 or so movies in /VideoLib I started to schedule
movies that I already had on the video server. Once I had gone through
the list of movies and scheduled them for recording, I would then have to
tediously check for duplicates.
This patch does two things:
A) it changes the display of the movie list so that it is sorted by: title
+ unique.
B) it also removes titles which currently exist within the /VideoLib
(current copies on the Video Library).
I did this by modifying the proglist.cpp so that an additional choice was
added to the popup menu: "Unique". By selecting "Unique", a new mysql
command is issued to do the "unique" and "left join" to present me with
the desired listing. This has made the scheduling of new movies so much
easier and I would like to see this added to upcoming releases of MythTV
so I won't have to re-patch?
