 This patch adds 2 options to the frontend, --jumppoint and --runplugin.
 You can pass the full name of a jumppoint and the frontend will start
 there after loading, for example `mythfrontend --jumppoint "TV Recording
 Playback"`.  --runplugin works the same as the old way of passing the name
 of the plugin as the last option, `mythfrontend --runplugin weather`.

 After discussing with sphery and wagnerrp on IRC, this patch removes the
 ability to symlink mythfrontend to the name of a plugin and it removes the
 ability to pass the name of a plugin as the last option, in favor of
 --runplugin.  Additionally, it fixes a bug introduced in [b0165b23], which
 switched the logic on run_plugin(), which would cause the frontend to
 lockup if it was passed the name of a nonexistent plugin.
