DVB: Support High Layer CI

Description

It would be really nice if MythTV would support the High Layer interface of the CI found on some cheaper DVB cards (mine is a Twinhan Cab-Cl).

Apparently vdr has fixed this in their svn (http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/13469). I don't know if that code is useful in MythTV tough..

I have done a patch to add the use of the high level CI to mythtv. It currently works nice for me. I've tried to follow the low level interface usage the best I could. Since that is imported code, I have followed the coding style of the code in place.

NOTE: In order to use the HLCI code, the ca_info_enq and ca_info ioctl messages needs to be supported by your HLCI driver. The messages are not currently implemented in the dst driver (Twinhan cards) but until they are, the patch to support the messages can be found at http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-January/007452.html. If you are using another HLCI driver (are there any other?) make sure that the message are implemented.

This patch does actually work with the dvb-ca.c driver patched as documented in 007452.html. I have now MythTV (svn version) working with encrypted cable services.

To get this working I also had to remove a test in mpegstreamdata.cpp in function HandleTSTables; this is the test that gives the following error message: PSIP packet has Adaptation Field Control, not ATSC compiant and then discards the packet. Apparently these packets are needed in my DVB-C signal. N.B. Cable signal is "tvhome" in the Netherlands; the card is the TwinHan? Cab-CI and the conditional access module is Alphacrypt 3.05.
