 This patch adds a new gallery plugin to MythTV.
  The main differences to the current MythGallery plugin are:
 The program logic is on the backend and all functions are accessible via
 the service API
 The presentation logic is directly incorporated in the frontend like
 MythVideo.
 It uses the backend database to save the directory and file information
 together with the exif image orientation
 Storage groups are supported

 General information:
 The images are stored on the backend server in a storage group. The images
 will then be synced into the database on the backend. Multiple frontends
 can therefore connect to the backend and view the images. This is similar
 to the MythVideo plugin.
 The exif information is also read from each file during sync and stored in
 the database. If no exif value is available the user can still rotate the
 image and it will be remembered because this information is available in
 the database.
 The synchronization progress is completely done in the backend and the
 status is available via the service API. It can be started or stopped via
 the service API or the theme.
 The sync runs in the background and navigating the folder structure and
 all file operations are therefore possible during sync.
 Thumbnails will be generated from images and also from videos.
 Each directory thumbnail image will show up to four image previews like
 XBMC or KDE does.
 The images are shown either one by one or as a slideshow which is
 configurable
 Videos will be played by the internal player.
 The user can rotate, flip, delete and rename files.
 Hiding and unhiding files is also possible in case these shall not be
 visible to the audience. This information is saved in the database.
