Fix for incorrectly assumed contexts

Version: → 0.19

The attached patch fixes the assumption that there will be global, jumppoints and qt contexts. On my frontend system, the crash occured when creating a binding list (introduced in ticket 590) would attempt to load actions for the non-existant qt context.

This should be fixed in both the main trunk and the release fixes.

(In [9052]) References #1327. Fixes segfault in starting mythcontrols by applying patch. I'm leaving this ticket open as this should also be applied to 0.19-fixes.
