[mythtv] [not a patch] A different idiom for locks and local deletes

First, this is not an attack or even a patch.

The recent deletion speed thread had me looking in
MainServer::DoDeleteThread (that is the only reason it is used in this
example).

The attached non-patch makes the cleanup work (especially where there are
multiple exit points) less prone to errors introduced by forgetfulness
(again, not fixing a real problem in this case).

Would it be possible to see something like ManagedLock in util.h or
elsewhere in libmyth?
