[mythtv] Patch to autodetect 4:3 Zoom aspect ratio

[Justin]

This would likely work as long as you know where the cut offs should 
be.  If not what happens if the screen has a few black lines at the 
bottom because it is a dark part of the scene?   One thing that would 
help prevent this would be to look over a couple frames and not a single 
frame.   Or what if the TV icon goes over into the black bars?
