[mythtv] [PATCH] Fix for mythmusic ripped genre

OK, so my previous patch to allow you to change the genre of a ripped CD 
didn't exactly work... that is, it would allow you to change the genre on the 
combo box, but the updated genre didn't get saved in the ID tag, and it also 
used the original genre as the director (if you had that option on).

The problem is that 'genre' in the CDDA disc info structure, unlike album & 
artist, is only an enum with very few possible values.  There's a 
cddb_genre() function to get the genre text by doing a lookup.  This 
obviously does not support custom genre names you might have (not to mention 
the fact that the CDDecoder class doesn't even *try* to save the genre back 
to the structure.  Makes sense, though).  So, what this patch does is when 
the disc info structure gets read back in in the ripTheDisc() function, it 
overrides the detected genre with the one from the combo box and uses that 
for the directory, as well as passing it to the encoder.  Consider this very 
low risk :-)
