 Ticket [https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12157] introduced a very
 useful feature for navigating between the groups containing a specific
 recording. However it is currently limited to title groups.

 If the group filter does not contain titles then the menu for recordings
 in "All Programmes" still shows a "List Recorded Episodes" button that
 performs no action.

 For recordings in other groups (watchlist, category, search rules etc) it
 will navigate to "All Programmes" but then there is no convenient way of
 returning to the original group.

 This patch reimplements the feature as a cyclic search that navigates
 between all displayed groups (in order of display).

 If the group filter contains only titles (typical configuration?) then the
 behaviour is unchanged, ie. it will toggle between "All Programmes" and
 the Title group (although the menu options "List All Recordings"/"List
 Recorded Episodes" are replaced by "Show Next Group").

 However, when the group filter also contains other groups (showing the
 recording), it will cycle through them all of them. For example. for a
 group filter of Titles, Watchlist & Category (where the title group is
 shown before the Category group) the navigation will be Watchlist -> the
 Title Group -> the Category -> All Programmes -> Watchlist etc.

 This is much more useful to Watchlist users in particular.
