Decouple Live TV and Program Guide

Description

The setting WatchTVGuide ("Show the program guide when starting Live TV") leads to a lot of unnecessary complication in the code base. The intention here is simplify by decoupling the starting of the Guide and Live TV, while providing a mostly equivalent experience for those who prefer starting with the Guide.

  1. Remove the WatchTVGuide setting.
  1. Promote the Schedule Recordings menu item (i.e., Program Guide) to the top-level mainmenu.xml.
  1. Allow the top-level guide starting channel to be automatically selected as the channel that would be tuned if Live TV were started instead.
  1. Optionally, change the DefaultTVChannel setting to be per channel group instead of global.

Resolution: → Fixed
Status: new → closed

Some work is still needed to improve the selection of the "natural" live TV starting channel, but that can be done separately.
