 Currently filter settings are modified using text entry.  This is not a
 good solution for remote controls and is prone to entry error.  It also
 makes it very hard for users to discover this feature.

 This patch replaces the text entry for the transcoder profile\general
 playback\channel video\channel output filter chain settings with a button
 that opens a configuration dialog.  The dialog is a list of the filters in
 the chain along with an (add new filter) item.  Selecting a filter opens a
 configuration dialog to modify the parameters for that filter.  The menu
 button opens a popup to move the filter in the chain or delete it.

 Selecting (add new filter) generates a list of available filters
 dynamically using the FilterManager class.  The configuration dialogs for
 each filter type are also generated dynamically based on parameter
 descriptions that have been added to each filter.  Each parameter has help
 text associated with it that describes it's purpose.

 The quickdnr configuration only allows for 1 parameter instead of allowing
 for 1, 2, or 4.  This could be changed to one of the other options, but it
 is not clear how to easily allow for a variable amount of parameters with
 this interface.
