 Needs code review and independent testing.

 This is a simple change to extend the Frontend Services API with a new
 POST method for requesting Live TV playback tuned to a specific channel
 ID.

 - Makes sure requested ChanID is "valid" i.e. non-negative, non-zero.
 - Checks current state of frontend GUI and attempts to change to Live TV.
 - If current state is Live TV then requested channel identifier passed to
 network control for tuning.

 ----

 == PlayLiveTV

 The PlayLiveTV API takes the following arguments:

 ChanId ('''Required''')
     '''Parameter Type:''' Integer

     '''Parameter Description:''' The database channel id for tuning.

 Example Query:

 }}}
