#12012: Abbreviated show names don't work for Title

When parsing the filename to create the title for the video, the system
removes all dots (periods), however, when there are multiple single
characters these are likely an abbreviation. Examples

House M.D
G.I Joe

The issue is that when a lookup is done against tmdb, thetvdb, there is no
match as what is searched is "House M D" or "G I Joe".

There are 2 ways to solve this. In the metadata Lookup, or in the logic
to parse the filename. Metadata lookup would cover more areas, however,
at this point, the user may have altered the name, so we should lookup
exactly what they have asked.

Pull will be attached shortly.

Comment:

I added some unit test to see how it works out, see [f8a238e076]. I'd
prefer it to return "House M.D." and "G.I. Joe", but I'm not sure if that
can be done without improving other cases for the worse.

Comment (by rcrdnalor):

See http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2014-June/365200.html
for a workaround:

{{{
> for Example "Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" gets parsed as "Marvels
> Agents of S H I E L D" which does not get matched on thetvdb?

manually set the inetref or add the mistakingly parsed title as override
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ttvdb.py#User_configuration_file
}}}
