Allow regexp or wildcard matching of series names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I hope you don't mind requests. :)

The current implementation of series name mapping in TvdbLibAccess.cs requires 
an exact match, which is problematic in a number of cases. For example there's 
a certain kids' show that for some reason contains the series and episode 
titles as the series title, so the 'series' is different each week. With a 
wildcard or regexp it would be simple to handle this. There are also cases 
where a channel sometimes has series' age rating included in the title and 
sometimes does not. Regexp would work with these too.

I don't mind requests at all... after all, they're just requests ;)

Seems do-able for sure.  I tend to lean towards a regex solution rather than a 
wildcard thing just for ultimate flexibility.

I'll try to work on this soon.

I submitted version 0.5 that has the first implementation of Regular Expression 
matching on the guide data series name... let me know if that works for you.

I've been testing this for a few days now and everything seems to be working 
just fine.

Great!  I'll close this as complete then.
