#601: Support hotpluggable disc drives in MediaMonitor

This patch implements support for hotplugging removable disc drives in
MediaMonitor. A new MythMediaDevice subclass implements a generic hard
disc device. In addition it supports mounting and unmounting via pmount
if it is available. If you use pmount you don't need to explicitly define
mount points in /etc/fstab. Make sure the user running mythfrontend is a
member of the plugdev or equivalent group.
To get hotplug message you will need to (or whatever your distribution
does, this is for Debian)
install contrib/mythtv.rules into /etc/udev/
create a link in /etc/udev/rules.d to the newly install
/etc/udev/mythtv.rules
install contrib/mythtv_media_monitor.sh into /etc/udev/scripts/
This requires udev version 0.71.
There is also a new global keybinding called 'EJECT' that will eject
devices. If you have only one device (known to the MediaMonitor) it will
be unmounted and ejected. If you have more than one a dialog box will
popup so you can select the device to eject. You can use this to safely
remove USB sticks etc.
This code is related to my code to get MythGallery to access my digital
camera, I will submit that patch soon.
