[mythtv] Minor Request: Allow ADD cut-point when close to existing
cut-point

I'm trying to archive some old football games that I'd like to keep
around and ran into a small stumbling block with editing the
cut-points for the file. Football, being what it is, has lots of
short 20 second commercial breaks between plays. MythTV won't let me
edit them out, however, because if you try to insert a cut-point
within 30 seconds of an existing cut-point it only allows you to
Delete, Move, Flip, or Cancel. Therefore, I can mark the beginning of
the commercial, but not the end because it is within 30 seconds.
Unless there is a technical limitation which I am not aware of, I
think it would be useful to allow the user to "Delete Before" and
"Delete After" when trying to insert a cut-point within 30 seconds of
an existing cut-point. Certainly, this is applicable to editing
football - and most likely other sports as well. I think it is also
reasonable from a user-interface consistency point-of-view as a user
should be able to delete a clip regardless of if it is less than 30
seconds long or not.
