 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.
