#3952: add support for linkage descriptors and create an osd menu entry for linked
events

The german provider Premiere and maybe other providers have special
channels for PPV or sport events. On certified receivers you have an
option key to reach these subevents like different camera perspectives in
formula one events or the different movies on dynamic channels.
This patch reads the linkage descriptors in the epg stream and writes the
information to a special table. The Frontend reads the table when access
the osd menu and insert an entry "subchannel" if the tuned channel is part
of a linkage. The subchannel entry has subentries to each linked event and
you can switch to all subevents from the menu.
Note, that subentries were only created for events that have a valid epg
entry in the program table.
At the moment I didn't like how to show the subevents. I'd like to have
some more information per event, like start or endtime, but I don't know
how to realize it. Therefore a double line menu entry is needed.
Maybe the best way were to put the info in an own treemenu that fills the
screen horizontal.
Comments are welcome.
This patch is only tested with the german provider Premiere. Please
provide me infos how it works on other providers. Maybe the store function
must be restrict to a special linkage type. Premiere uses user_defined
0xb0 as type.
