[mythtv] Duplicate Recordings

[Joel Feenstra]

The new detection code was written with expandability in mind so it's 
not too hard to add a new method. There is a type def, a menu option, 
and the actual if statement that would decide if it's a duplicate or 
not. That's only 3 spots to change. Look at libs/scheduledrecording.cpp, 
libs/scheduledrecording.h, and libs/programinfo.cpp "IsSameProgram". 
That's all you should have to add to for a new dupmethod.
