 Currently (fixes/0.28), when within the mythfrontend EPG and not currently
 watching livetv, to enter livetv from the EPG requires the use of the
 'menu' action.

 I propose to allow the 'select' action to return an option to goto "Watch
 This Channel" when the highlighted program is close enough to the current
 time.

 guidegrid.cpp currently has code that says if the user is browsing far
 enough away from now while watching livetv and makes a 'select' action
 that their intent is probably to interact with recording rules rather than
 change channel. This patch is for a corollary that if the user is browsing
 close enough to now in the frontend EPG and is not currently in livetv
 that they probably intend to view that channel rather than interact with
 the recording rules.
