Comment:

 (In [7571]) Add new mythwelcome feature.

 Probably mostly of interest to people who have a
 dedicated frontend/backend machine that you don't
 want to leave on 24/7. It provides a themed status
 screen that can be shown when myth has automatically
 started the system to record something or its waiting
 for the backend to become idle and shut things down.

 It shows a status message, what is currently recording, and
 what the next scheduled recording is. Also includes a button
 to easily start the frontend.

 The companion program mythshutdown can among other things
 prevent the backend prematurely shutting down the system if
 it is busy commercial flagging, downloading EPG data or
 transcoding etc

 The README file in programs/mythwelcome contains
 a lot more details on what it can do and how to set
 things up.

 Closes #407
