Standardize the name of the text area use to display the window's title

[Xavier Hervy <xavier.hervy@…>]

This is an attempt to standardize the name of the textarea used to display the title in a window. It does not mean that all the window will look the same, the freedom is left to the themer.

I implemented 2 new methods in MythScreenType:

• SetWindowTitle: set the title of the window. the title will be display in a textarea named "windowtitle" if defined in the window widget in XML.

• SetAlternateTitleTextAreaName: specify the name of the textarea to be used if "windowtitle" have not be found. (The name is really bad). This method only allow a smooth conversion of the themes. It is not meant to be left in the code forever, it does just prevent breaking existing themes and will display a warning if the theme is not using the windowtitle.

This patch also include a example of use for the Programs Search.

The only purpose of the patch is to ease the creation of new theme. A consistant window's title could be created as follow:

<group name="basewindowtitle">
    <imagetype name="basetopbar">
        <position>0,0</position>
        <filename>backgrounds/topbar.png</filename>
    </imagetype>
    <textarea name="windowtitle">
        <area>20,4,650,36</area>
        <font>baselarge</font>
        <value></value>
    </textarea>
</group>

<window name="TitleDefinedInXML">
    <group name="titlebar" from="basewindowtitle" >
        <textarea name="windowtitle">
            <value>Title defined in XML</value>
        </textarea>
    </group>
</window>

<window name="TitleDefinedByProgram">
    <group name="titlebar" from="basewindowtitle" />
</window>

I forgot to mention that if the principle of this patch was approved, I would happily convert every single Dialogs.
