[mythtv] PATCH Potential DataDirect icon solution

[Anduin Withers]

Another day, another version.

DOM, done. Also took DataDirect out of several places as this is a general
solution to fetching any channel icon from anywhere (I use DataDirect so
that is what is setup by default).

Calls the channel icon update now, even if you are using the XMLTV grabber.

> suitable icon.
> 
> callsignnetworkmap - maps a call sign to a network (the idea being that
> there are somewhat fewer networks than channels).

> New options to mythfilldatabase:
> 
> --export-dd-icon-map - exports your icon mappings to an XML file.
> --import-dd-icon-map - takes an exported XML file and imports it.
> --dd-icon-update - just did an import but don't want to fetch listing
> data?
> Use this.

> - A large set of call sign to network to icon mappings.
> - DOM for file import, what is there works but is many lines longer than
