LCDServer doesn't show music info when MythMusic is first started

Description
When going straight into music (MythWelcome? -> Music -> Play) the lcd server only shows the generic myth info (time/date) instead of switching over to music-specific info. If some other module that uses the lcd server is run first (TV, Video) than the lcd server shows the correct info on the music screen.

(In [18246]) Merge [18245] from trunk.
Fix a couple of problems with the LCD.
- Don't send any commands to mythlcdserver until we have a response to 'HELLO'. Fixes #5421.
- Work around a problem with the LCD not always starting up properly. Fixes #5648. Probably also fixes #5613.
The problem seems to be that if the readyread_thread is monitoring only one socket (the BE isn't running) then it can get into a state where it never wakes up to process a read. If another socket is added (the BE is started) or if it is forced to wake up then it starts to behave properly.
The hack is to Lock() and Unlock() the socket after the first write which is enough to get the readyready_thread working properly.
