Log:

Refs #2287. Creates and destroyes the memory allocator needed by Cocoa.

The OS X Cocoa libraries assume that you have a garbage collector allocated and will leak memory if you don't. However it needs a specific garbage collector for each thread which creates some complications. This creates and destroyes the garbage collector needed to handle DVDV stuff.

We really should allocate a garbage collector for each thread in MythTV on the OS X platform, but this addresses the only major memory leak this Cocoa requirement appears to cause. And addresses all the additional memory leaks DVDV could have added to the mix.
