Code cleanup patch to remove redundant NULL checks

Description

Checking for NULL before delete is redundant. This patch removes most of these checks from programs/, libs/libmyth, libs/libmythtv, and libs/libmythui. There are many places where the pointer is set to NULL after delete. Most of those are still there, except for the ones setting member variables to NULL in a destructor, since that doesn't really provide any benefit.

Redundancy is good, especially in an application that we hope to someday port to embedded devices with less standards compliant libraries. Also setting pointers to NULL after deletion is not only a good habit, but it makes debugging significantly easier.
