Comment:

 (In [23479]) Modify mythlink.pl to allow creating a symlink for a specific
 recording file using the --filename or --chanid and --starttime arguments.
 This allows the script to be used as a proper user job or--even better--to
 be used in conjunction with the "Recording started" event in the new
 event-driven notification system so links are created as soon as the
 recordings start.

 Note that when specifying --filename or --chanid and --starttime, deletion
 of old symlinks (other than the one for the specific file) is suppressed.
 Therefore, anyone using this script in a user job or with the event system
 should still run the script occasionally without the --filename or
 --chanid and --starttime arguments to allow removal of links that referred
 to recordings since deleted.

 The --filename argument can use either the absolute path of the file or
 the recording file's basename.  The --starttime argument can use either
 the MythTV time format (yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss), the ISO time format (yyyy-
 MM-dd hh:mm:ss), or the "job queue" time format (yyyyMMddhhmmss).  The
 --chanid uses the channel ID format.

 Thanks to Johan Godfried for the initial patch.  Fixes #5379 with a
 slightly modified version of the patch on the ticket.
