Genres - hundres of them

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We need to find some way of limiting genres. If we collect metadata from
different sources, very quickly there will be a lot of genres thus making
the genres filter useless.

I propose we make a "genre cleaner" method in the DBEditor. A simple screen
where one can mark which genres to keep and then give the oppertunity to
delete the rest. It should be possible to do a cleanup (for existing data)
and do a "real time cleanup". The "real time cleanup" should be done when
importing a title.

I would suggest standardizing on the list from Amazon, IMDB, or DVDProfiler. We 
could map variations to a consistent label as well.

If you standardize the genre list, then in the DB app it would be great to 
create a 
grid of titles in the first column, and check boxes in subsequent columns with 
the 
genres in the first row.  Then you could simply check off the genres you want 
per 
title, and also quickly see all genres by title.
