 I generally want to expire low priority shows first, but I also want to
 expire old shows.  Rather than choosing between these two criteria, this
 patch adds a method that uses both criteria to decide what to expire.

 It is a simple linear combination.  The easiest way to view it is expiring
 oldest shows first, but giving each show some bonus time based on its
 priority.  The number of days bonus per priority point is adjustable.

 This patch as written makes the preference panel it changes overflow
 slightly.  I don't think that this should go into 0.19, and mythui is
 changing for 0.20, so I didn't worry about this too much at this stage.
