 Support .srt files for in-progress recordings.  Refs #11618

 Allow a .srt file to be reloaded for an in-progress recording after
 the last subtitle is reached.  The backend is queried at most one a
 second for an updated .srt file.

 Still to do:

 1. Do the update check in a separate thread to avoid stuttering.

 2. Currently the REC_STARTED_WRITING event is not sent when the HD-PVR
 switches to a new program during live TV, so the third-party script
 ends up not generating .srt files for subsequent programs in a live TV
 session.

 3. ccextractor buffers its output, so one needs to be at least 30
 seconds behind real-time to get .srt captions.  A better solution
 would be to add the required functionality to mythccextractor.
