#4075: Backend AutoDiscovery improvements

Description changed by nigel:
Old description:
> 1. If a valid mysql.txt exists, the backend selector should not appear
>
> 2. The selector should be use MythTV widgets (colours, theme, ''et c.'').
> This should also automatically add LIRC, Apple remote, and joystick
> support.
>
> 3. Any Myth program should be able to select a backend, not just the
> frontend
>
> 4. The programs could autoselect if only a single backend is available
> (and probably not save the backend UUID in config.xml, or even generate
> one). I am still thinking about this, but am hoping this would allow a
> bootable CD frontend to work without having to save any config anywhere
>
> 5. If there is no LocalHostName (''e.g.'' if there was no mysql.txt) then
> the generated UPnP MediaRenderer ID should probably be used instead of
> gethostname(). Uglier in the database, but should survive FE host network
> and hostname reconfiguration?
>
> Attached patch implements 1-3, but currently the PIN dialog is annoying,
> because it uses the SMS-style button pressing. It is also now very out of
> date (lots of mythcontext.cpp changes). New one coming soon
New description:
1. If a valid mysql.txt exists, the backend selector should not appear
2. The selector should be use MythTV widgets (colours, theme, ''et c.'').
This should also automatically add LIRC, Apple remote, and joystick
support.
3. Any Myth program should be able to select a backend, not just the
frontend
4. The programs could autoselect if only a single backend is available
(and probably not save the backend UUID in config.xml, or even generate
one). I am still thinking about this, but am hoping this would allow a
bootable CD frontend to work without having to save any config anywhere
5. If there is no LocalHostName (''e.g.'' if there was no mysql.txt) then
the generated UPnP MediaRenderer ID should probably be used instead of
gethostname(). Uglier in the database, but should survive FE host network
and hostname reconfiguration?
First patch implements 1-3 (with some PIN entry UI issues). Second patch
implements 1 - 4.
