[mythtv] Proposed scheduler patch

[Joel Feenstra]

I agree. I think the conflict resolution should go something like this:

Step 1: Use schedule overides (ie: don't record this episode, do record 
this episode, etc)
Step 2: Try to schedule remaining shows with as few conflicts as 
possible, if conflicts: continue on
Step 3 (Only if priorities are enabled): Use priorities to resolve 
conflicts, if still conflicting go to Step 4
Step 4: Use conflictresolution table to resolve conflicts
Step 5: Pick a show based on length, specificity, etc. If still no 
difference continue
Step 6: Pick a random show, but highlight the two shows and increment 
the "conflicts" count in the "fix scheduling conflicts" page.

No matter how the show has been picked, it should always have the option 
for disabling, and enabling the recording. Currently it was set to not 
record due to a priorities setting, it cannot be set to record unless 
you disable the one that is blocking it.
