 In case there aren't any conflicts, RemoteGetConflictList returns NULL.
 But the only call in ProgramInfo::ShowNotRecordingDialog is expecting an
 empty vector instead. This is causing a SEGV in mythfrontend.

 The attached patch against 8517 fixes the problem by always returning a
 non-null vector. The alternative would be to add a null check at the call
 site, but there is no benefit in doing this since the vector is allocated
 anyway (before it is known that it is empty).
