#3662: MediaMonitor may want to ignore some devices

 My frontend does not contain a hard drive.  Instead, it boots from a flash
 drive and mounts / via NFS.  The flash drive also contains the /usr
 partition which is mounted read only.  When MythTV starts up, the media
 monitor detects that there is a removable device inserted and displays
 it's partitions in MythGallery.  I find that annoying having to press
 escape multiple times to get to the main menu.

 I can't just disable /dev/sda in udev because I need to be able to
 actually access the device to mount /usr.  I also don't want to disable
 media monitor globally because I still want auto detection of optical
 media, SD cards, etc.  There needs to be a way to tell the media monitor
 to ignore select devices.

 This patch adds support for a new setting called IgnoreDevices which can
 contain a comma separated list of devices to be ignored by
 MediaMonitorUnix.  The devices are specified in sysfs form, e.g.
 "/sys/block/sda".
