[mythtv] [PATCH] mythfilldatabase errors

[Andy Davidoff]

The credits table was designed to allow us to specify the role of
a person as a set, which would be both simpler and more efficient.
There was a miscommunication and the code doesn't leverage this, but
it will, someday.

Sets are stored as integers in MySQL, so they shouldn't be any
slower.  They have the advantage of reducing complexity.

The role field denotes the role that the person played in the
production of the program and is not limited to actors.
