mythfilldatabase segfaults when backend is not running and wakeup not set

[mythdev@…]

Common 'installation' sequence is to run mythtv-install, then mythfilldatabase, then start backend/frontend - so this segfault will be seen by 'new' users and may cause some concern. Following fixes the segfault + a minor cosmetic fix to connection reporting - currently the loop reports ".... (try 6 of 5)" because the maxcount doesn't include the first pass through the loop before the retries.

(In [7973]) Apply patch from #686 to fix segfault in mythfilldatabase when mythbackend is not up and running. Also fix off-by-one display count by starting cnt at 1 instead of zero so we reallly only try maxConnTry attempts and not maxConnTry+1. Closes #686.

Add -v/--verbose argument parsing to mythfilldatabase. The default level is only "important general", so previously you couldn't for example see VB_NETWORK error messages. Now you can use any applicable verbose flags.

Check gContext->IsConnectedToMaster?() before calling ScheduledRecording::signalChange(-1) in mythfilldatabase to suppress a warning/error message when the backend is not up and we can't reschedule.

Add a %VERBOSELEVEL% keyword replacement option to mythjobqueue for User Jobs so you can pass in the value of print_verbose_messages to other Myth apps that understand the -V command-line option such as mythcommflag and mythtranscode.
