#5251: Add watched status as weighted input to Time/Priority auto expire

This patch extends the concept of the "Weighted Time/Priority" auto-expire
method to include a recording's watched status as an input into the
weighting algorithm.
The renamed Weighted Time/Priority/Watched method takes a configurable
number of days to take away from already watched programs when ranking
them for auto-expiry. This parallels the existing # of days weight to add
to higher-priority programs (although watched is boolean, but this can be
offset by using a larger watched weight).
Having a weight for watched programs allows a mix of expiring ancient
unwatched programs before new watched programs (that your spouse watched
without you) while at the same time expiring old watched programs before
new unwatched ones.
Setting the max watched weight achieves a similar effect to the current
'watched before unwatched" flag, so no functionality is lost for anyone
who prefers the existing method.
