[mythtv] Test (crude) patch for commercial skipping

What if I want to skip commercials in a program I just recorded and am
now watching, and what about delayed LiveTV mode.  The commercial detection
routines can/should be generic enough to work with both background
commercial detection and foreground detection.

This would be nice, but what happens when the detection goes wrong and you
miss the last 10 minutes of the show because the code thought it was a
commercial.  I think a process to strip out the commercials would be nice,
but it should be triggered manually by default so you can look to make sure
it actually is only going to cut the commercials and not anything else.
