Genres for TV_SERIES should include all genres from episodes #2

suggested that the genres associated with the ParentID of episodes should include a unique list of genres of all the episodes.

I think this should be the other way round, viz. the genres of an episode should include all the genres of the ParentID. e.g. Ser: Doctor Who : genres = Sci-Fi Ep: The Daleks : genres = Horror

Request = "Doctor Who" then output = "Sci-Fi" Request = "The Daleks" then output = "Sci-Fi, Horror"

p.s. May need to think about the ordering of the output of the genres - some deficient downstream apps (e.g. MythTV) can only handle max 1 genre for a programme! TOL: maybe a run-time (or config file?) option to put ep genres before ser genres?
