Comment (by danielk):

 (In [10434]) Fixes #1702. Refs #1648. Implements a very basic signal
 monitor class for the freebox recorder.

 This tries once to connect to the streaming server and reports a lock if
 it succeeds. It then waits for a PAT and a PMT with a program number of 1.

 Ideally we would try to reconnect if the connection failed the first time,
 and we would make rtspcomms.cpp a little more efficient.

 This also adds "-v record" debugging to the freebox recorder. When I was
 testing I found some problems with handling error conditions. I think
 these are all fixed, but the additional debugging should make any
 additional problems easier to track down.

 BTW The freebox recorder will work with any Internet TV station
 broadcasting a TS MPEG2 stream using RTSP. You just need to create a m3u
 file as described the readme on ticket #1702. H.264 (aka MPEG-4 AVC)
 support could be added without much work, if there is any interest in it.
