[mythtv] 2019-devel: lipsync drift

I'm still seeing this slow drift in my el7 build of  mythfrontend 
version: devel/2019-render [v31-Pre-9dc72f3b810] www.mythtv.org

and it seems likely to be connected to 
mythtv/libs/libmythui/DisplayResX.cpp tweaks at commit b8e27f1039 - and 
perhaps the reported lack of NVCtrl on this system.

$ mythfrontend -v playback,libav

axis) 410mm x 260mm
    1440x900      59.89 +  74.98*

=====

In contrast, a build for Fedora 30 at the same commit, with nVidia 
graphics, shows DispResX rates that are the same as those from xrandr; 
not, as above, truncated to the nearest integer.  It also shows 
CustomRate: to 4 decimal places.

This is probably not a  blocker.  DLNA doesn't show the drift.  I 
haven't yet found a logging option that does.
