#1263: Update and improve myth.rebuilddatabase.pl

 I tried to use myth.rebuilddatabase.pl for the first time today and
 noticed that it's stuck on recordings ending in .nuv and also that they
 should conform to the 0.18 format for filename
 (channel_starttime_endtime.nuv) so I thought I'd fix that up. Then I
 thought up a few features that I'd like to see so I started hacking...

 The idea around --file and --answer are that you could write a (possibly
 spreadsheet-driven) script that would import tons of recordings without
 intervention. Like perhaps if you were importing all the episodes from one
 of those sitcom dvds...

 Although this looks like a huge change (the entire body of the script has
 been rewritten) it's actually pretty much the same as before. I mostly
 reduced the two paths of execution (nuv vs. non-nuv) into one and added a
 helper routine for user queries.
