 I find the list of programs in Systems Status to be expired very
 useful to watch out for things I hoped to watch being about to expire.

 This small patch (against 9620) adds a handy dialog so that expire
 items can be deleted immediately or auto expire can be disabled.  For
 LiveTV items, disabling auto expire moves them into the Default
 recording group.

 To avoid the nuisance of listing the programs being deleted
 asynchronously (cf "currently being deleted" in Watch Recordings), I
 adjusted the auto expire query in the backend to exclude programs with
 deletepending set.  It doesn't look like this will harm anything
 else.  (On the other hand, if there is a huge list of programs to
 expire, it would be better to manipulate the vector directly rather
 than repeat the query and re-make the lists, but this can be saved for
 a later improvement if it seems necessary).
