Description
When the "Main Menu" jump point is executed, the highlighted selection stays the same as it originally was. Some people might like this, but I prefer to be able to use finger memory to navigate to a known location with a fixed set of keypresses. This patch makes it possible by resetting the highlighted selection when the "Main Menu" jump point is executed from the top-level main menu. I.e., executing the jump point twice in a row will always put you in the main menu with the first item highlighted.
Alternatively, the same code could be moved into gotoMainMenu() and the selection would be reset regardless of where the jump point is executed from.

JumpPoints?: Reset the menu selection for the Main Menu jump point.
Fixes a regression introduced sometime around 0.22, in which the Main Menu jump point leaves the selection on the same entry that was active the last time the user was at the Main Menu, rather than the first entry.
Fixes #9615

On further thought, I'm submitting the v2 patch, which unconditionally resets the mainmenu selection. First, I believe this was the old behavior a couple of releases ago, maybe before the mythui-osd branch merge. Second, it stays out of the way of the current deprecated way of implementing the mechanics of jump points.
