 Every now and again the mythtranscode process will die - if it dies on a
 recording it is usually repeatable.

 The problem is the backend still thinks there is a transcoding job in
 progress and will not start any new jobs.

 Ideally the backend should detect that the process has died, mark it as
 failed, and move on to the next job.

 A related issue is that the when the transcoding process has died it is
 not possible to delete the job in mythfrontend - the only options are to
 "stop" or "pause", neither of which do anything in this situation.

 Workaround - deleting the recording will also delete the transcoding job
 and the backend will move on to the next job.

 Running svn trunk 10407.
