[mythtv] PATCH for MythWeb to allow unsuppressing a recording

[jasonmiller at micron.com]

I'm still not clear on what will break when the oldrecorded entry is removed.  Obviously the intent was to make the system as a whole forget it had ever seen that show before.  If it happens to still be in the recorded table that should still be ok since it will still be unique due to the differing start and stop times.  I'm far from expert on the whole database schema so I'm assuming I'm still just missing the point.

i found this to not be a good idea.

i had been working on allowing this in the regular front end, and this 
was my first thought.  but if you do delete an entry in that table, you 
will find that you suddenly have trouble with other places, mostly 
related to if you have a recorded version of that episode that you 
haven't deleted yet;  i know that this is unlikely, but i was just 
trying to make sure everything was happy with the change.  i've been 
thinking about a better way, but haven't really finished wrapping my 
head around the whole codebase (or most of it).

the problem might be to simply remove the requirement on all joins that 
an entry in recorded requires and entry in oldrecorded also, but i'm not 
at the point of understanding where i feel i can make that statement 
definitively.

a better way (perhaps) is to flag it for the scheduler as an over-ride, 
this is the path i'm thinking along right now.

cheers,
