[mythtv-users] Browsing Recordings by Rule (rather than title)

[Bruce Markey]

The attached is complete but I want to test it and ponder
some things before commit.

This logic was ever more twisted. I changed this so that if the
program title is the same as the list title, use the subtitle,
else 'title - "subtitle"' format. This applies regardless of
the circumstances.

One issue I had is that I have a lot of kPowerSearch rules that
are extra criteria for one specific title. Therefore, this version
only creates and adds an item to a search list if the program title
does not match the search rule base title. IOW if I have a rule
for "Nova (Power Search)", and all for that recordid are "Nova"
then I don't need a search view for "(Nova)". I can find the same
list for "Nova". A potential bug would be if a new series started
that happened to be titled "Pilot Episodes", it wouldn't be in
the "(Pilot Episodes)" list but I'm not going to lose sleep over
that =).

I did the minimum changes to globalsettings.cpp and would rework
the rest of the view choices and options as a separate commit.
