Comment(by danielk):

 (In [14956]) Refs #3872. Do a firewire bus reset when required in the
 LinuxFirewireDevice.

 This is the default behaviour with the DarwinFirewireDevice, but due to
 concerns about buggy Linux drivers this requires changing a line of code
 and recompiling in Linux to enable. But since there are many bug reports
 which are really do to this not being enabled, this changeset enables the
 reset and adds an option to mythtv-setup+general|miscellaneous to disable
 it.

 The problem drivers were for an external firewire harddrive, they have
 been fixed in the Linux kernel for over a year. Resets can also cause a
 small glitch in recordings currently in progress if you have multiple
 Motorolla STBs connected to the same firewire bus, but a this is
 preferable to most people over zero-byte recordings.
