 renumbered, use the channum value for sorting.

 I'm using 0.20-fixes, which incorporates this patch. Apologies for
 reopening the ticket, but would it be possible to extend this patch so
 that it sorts by channum even if the ATSC channel hasn't been "radically
 renumbered"?

 In my setup, I don't use any separators (like _, #, or .) in the channel
 numbers for ATSC channels. As a result, 2.1 appears as 21, 11.1 appears as
 111, etc. I do this because channel numbers ought to be just numbers with
 no newfangled punctuation symbols, gosh darn it.

 However, this means that in places like the Program Guide, MythWeb's
 channel listings, and Schedule Programs|Search Lists|Channels, the
 channels don't get sorted by strict numerical channel order; 21 appears
 after 2 and before 3, for example. I know why this is the case, and would
 probably welcome such behavior were I using a separator, but this is
 precisely why I don't want to use a separator in the first place.
