Title: Added transcoing support for TVHeadend servers

This patch enables the use of the live transcoding feature I've added to my branch of tvheadend.
It might come in handy for low end hardware like the raspberry pie or cellphones that lack hardware mpeg2 decoders.

The server branch can be cloned from: https://github.com/john-tornblom/tvheadend

The transcoding is performed in software using ffmpeg so the server needs to be running on a rather recent CPU, depending on the resolution configured on the client side.
