Channel ordering by channel name should be case insensitive

Description

In the general settings in mythfrontend, one can choose to do the channel ordering by channel name. However, the alphabetical ordering is currently case sensitive, so that e.g. "ARTE" and "Arte" end up in a different position in the list.

In the English locale at least, Arte and ARTE are right next to each other on the list.

I've attached a patch to the ticket that ensures that no matter the locale, but I don't believe it is needed.

When reading the ticket I scratched my head at what "channel name" ordering was, until I looked at the code and realized this was sorting by the callsign. It is possible to sort on the long name of the channel, but we don't currently have a comparison function for this, so I've changed the text for that combobox entry to callsign, so as to be more clear. I think maybe it is being sorted by callsign, but you are looking at the channel name and hence the order doesn't look right to you..
