[pvr] make all livetv views available to the user earlier (as soon as channels are fetched from the backend and before epg is loaded from the db) by changing the pvr/epg manager startup logic
Revert "[epg] fixed - epg load/update was interrupted when the pvr manager imports channels, leading to delays and channel ids gone missing in certain situations"

This reverts commit bdf8842d543fae54067c4dd453bded8474e1044f.

xbmc.sh: read Release info from os-release
If /etc/os-release exists, read the info from there

xbmc.sh: extract core dump from systemd's journal
On systemd systems, core dumps are - by default - written to systemd's
logging system, the journal. The print_crash_report function only
searches certain directories for the core dump, but would never find
it in the journal, resulting in an empty stack trace in the crash log.
As a workaround, simply extract the last core dump caused by xbmc.bin
to "core" where the single_stacktrace function will find it.
If the system is configured to not dump cores into the journal,
systemd-coredumpctl will simply fail silently.

Fixed missing error message in debug log, "Unable to load '.so file', reason: (null)"

Error message comes from dlerror() in xbmc/cores/DllLoader/SoLoader.cpp when CAndroidDyload::Open() fails. However, dlerror() is also called inside CAndroidDyload::Open(). This causes the second, outer dlerror() to return NULL, because (from the documentation) "dlerror() returns NULL if no errors have occurred since initialization or since it was last called".
