…nge!) Will be used only when iGenreType==EPG_GENRE_USE_STRING. Typical usage: PVR backend does not supply a GenreType/GenreSubType pair and the supplied genre string is non-standard (e.g. cannot be translated into a Genre Type/SubType)

Allows the usage of genre strings as backup for the iGenreType/iGenreSubType id's.
XBMC still prefers the existing iGenreType/iGenreSubType fields, because this allows for a colored EPG timeline view.
Unfortunately, not all PVR backends and (web) EPG sources can provide these type id's and the translation from all possible genre strings (even in local language) into id's is almost undoable.
This pull request adds the possibility to use genre strings instead. It won't give a colored EPG timeline, but it does show the genre string on the program info dialog.
Only when iGenreType is set to EPG_GENRE_USE_STRING, XBMC will store the provided string in its internal EPG database. For all other genre types, it uses its existing internal type/subtype to string translator.
