[mythtv] [PATCH] optionally re-record auto-expired programs

[Aran Cox]

This is a version of a patch that I've been applying to mythtv since
0.11.  It adds an option in the Mythfrontend/Setup/TV/General settings
which causes the backend to delete the oldrecorded entry for any show
which is auto-expired due to lack of disk space.  (I don't think this
effects the min/max episode expiry, but perhaps it does.)  The default
is the current behavior, that is retain the oldrecorded entry.

I like the behavior this patch provides because, in general, if
something is deleted due to lack of space I might still want to watch
that episode one day and MythTV is just too good at keeping that from
happening.

One patch is against 0.16 and doesn't apply against CVS.  The other is
against CVS from today.  ( I haven't actually tested the CVS one,  no
wait!, but I will if there is any chance the patch would be considered
for inclusion.)  The CVS patch does compile and link at least and I
think I updated it correctly for the way things are now done in CVS wrt
the UI.

I'd also be willing to change the wording of the description, the
placement of the configuration item in setup, and anything else that
might get this into CVS so I don't have to apply it by hand in the
future ;)
