 I've created a new 'smart' duplicate check method. I normally use either
 subtitle, or description. Sometimes a series flips between using a
 subtitle, and not (particularly with the UK eit guide data!). 'Subtitle
 and description' is pretty useless for me, because a) if the subtitles are
 none existent then they don't match b) if subtitles are present they can
 be fouled by small differences in the description - the whole reason for
 using subtitle in the first place.

 So, I created 'Subtitle then description (smart)'. This first checks the
 subtitles match, however, if no subtitle exists, then and only then will
 it check the description.

 I've done a little testing, and it seems to work ok, and helps to iron out
 some of the inconsistencies caused by the uk eit data. Anyway... see how
 it goes. I've attached patches for trunk, but they apply to 20-fixes ok.

 Mythweb patch also included, but you'll need to update your .lang file
 with a string for 'Subtitle then Description (smart)'. I updated the
 english one, but spooked the diff, so i left that out.
