 This patch provides support for DVB-T2 in the same way as DVB-S2 is
 supported. The drivers for the first DVB-T2 tuners (e.g. PCTV-290)
 automatically switched between DVB-T and DVB-T2 so that there was no need
 for the application to treat it specially. More recent drivers, such as
 that for the Si2168 in the DVBSky T9580 and PCTV 292e require explicit
 switching.

 There are separate commits for the basic support and for channel scanning.
 The channel scanner includes support for editing transports and for a full
 scan. The full scan tries to lock each frequency with DVB-T and only tries
 DVB-T2 if that fails. This avoids creating duplicate entries when scanning
 with a device that ignores the DVB-T/T2 setting and locks to either. There
 is currently no support for PLPs (physical layer pipes).

 The code for this has been submitted as a GitHub pull request.
