Title: [mythtv-cmyth] Release 0.5

Hi Lars,

this PR updates the MythTV addon to version 0.5 - the version we'd like to have in Frodo.

This is mostly a bugfix release we've been hardworking to make the addon stable and less resource consuming. The biggest part is the rework of LiveTV in libcmyth where we had lots of problems. (now it's pretty close to MythFrontend)

The only 'new' thing is support for MythTV 0.26. This is only a minor change (MythTV database changed from localtime to UTC). It would be great to have it for Frodo because 0.26 was released in October and by the time Frodo is out it will probably be the version that is shipped with most distros.

The bugfixes and especially MythTV 0.26 support has been tested a lot during the last days and weeks by the devs and forum users. We also took the opportunity to test DST after October 30th.

Changelog:
- Support MythTV 0.26 backends
- Fixed Timer Deletion
- Support reconnecting to backend
- Reworked LiveTV (no more stops at show end, fixed USB tuner support)
- Performance improvements (adapted socket buffer sizes, removed unnecessary locks)
- Stability improvements
- Fixed crash on SetRecordingPlayCount and SetRecordingLastPlayedPosition
- Fixed crash when addon was restarted
- Fixed crash when backend connection was lost
- Fixed memory leaks in libcmyth
- Show correct start/end time in recordings- and timer view

Thanks,
Christian
