mythfilldatabase: lack of & interpretation.

[stgarf@…]

When running mythfilldatabase --import-icon-map iconmap.xml --update-icon-map One particular channel icon has an & character in it and mythfilldatabase escapes the & and the shell is interpreting it. GreyFoxx? and Beirdo say it should be \& or %26. I'm not sure either way, but here is the mythfilldatabase output:

Can you see if the attached patch works for you? It encloses the url in single quotes on the command line so the shell doesn't try to interpret the contents.

(In [8589]) Enclose the channel icon url in single quotes since some urls have bad characters like '&' in them. Closes #1009.
