This patch is inclusive of the patch sent earlier today, and obsoletes
that patch. Now it checks if you are running tv_grab_de, tv_grab_uk, or
tv_grab_sn, and it prompts you to run mythfilldatabase --manual if and
only if that is the case. Users running tv_grab_na are simply prompted
to run mythfilldatabase without the manual flag.

I skimmed over that text first time I read it and ended up doing a lot
of needless manual data entry. To compensate for a careless user, make
the code more careful :-)

At this point the code knows which options to use with mythfilldatabase,
so should it just run it with the proper options as a final step? (as we
do with tv_grab_xx earlier in setup) I didn't implement that feature,
but it's easily done.
