 rework this to send the block/noblock bool on a separate line

 I think the simplest way is to use a new ANN subcommand, maybe ANN
 Monitor, for non-blocking clients. In MythContext::ConnectServer it'd
 check the block argument I added and either send an ANN Playback or ANN
 Monitor as appropriate. All the current ANN types would be the same from a
 client point of view although internally only the ANN Playback would leave
 the PlaybackSock block flag as true, others would change it to false.

 This is a good idea and requires touching only 4 files instead of the 8
 the current patch does. When I started coding it seemed simpler to add the
 extra ANN argument but in retrospect that looks like a bad decision.

 I doubt Paul has whipped together a spare client machine already so I'll
 rework the patch and submit it again by this evening.
