[mythtv] Commercial Flagging Idea

[Mike Benoit]

One thing I've started to notice lately is some channels put a random
delay on when the logo appears after a commercial. (not sure if they
remove the logo randomly before the commercial starts though)

This totally throws off the commercial flagger.

Perhaps a simple:

Find logo, rewind to nearest blank frame, if less then half the total
commercial length, seek there instead?
