timestretch doesnt reset on catchup for remote FEs

Description

on (some) remote frontends, timestretch doesnt reset to x1 when it catches up to the end of a recording currently in progress or livetv. The current mechanism is not very robust. The solution I have come up with is to monitor ringbuffer starvation and pass this info back up to NVP. Shoudl work under all circumstances, though not sure about BE streaming mode without readaheadthread active as it relies on incomplete reads to detect data starvation.

It may be possibly to remove the old IsNearEnd? test and use this method exclusively.

Not extensively tested but seems to work in my scenario which uses readaheadthread and NFS (I think).

updated patch which fixes catchup on recordings in progress being watched (not livetv mode). one of my biggest issues now works well.

patch 3 provides a minor improvement to help with slower FE's triggerring play x1 sporadically. now uses both metrics to determine catchup so should reduce the final lag when x1 is invoked.

minimal change to cater for timestretch catchup when viewing recording in progress.

(In [19485]) Fixes #3786. Allow timestretch to reset to 1.0 when we catch up to a recording in progress when not in livetv.
