"Stop service on return to movie list" setting does nothing

Issue #530 resolved
Wade Coxon created an issue

The media player setting "Stop service on return to movie list" appears to not perform any function in the Beyonwiz firmware. The setting name implies that it is supposed to function similarly (inversely) to the "Show live TV when movie stopped" setting, however, toggling "Stop service on return to movie list" has no discernible effect on the behavior of service playback. The "Stop service on return to movie list" setting has contributed to undesirable behaviour relating to bug #479 in the past. See discussion here: http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=8840&sid=ac573312eea3a9d9cb5036982fa74dca#p118718

The "Stop service on return to movie list" should be investigated to discover its intended purpose. Failing finding a useful function for this setting, it should be removed as an available setting, and extracted from the code in case it has the potential to cause other kinds of undesirable behaviours.

    Fix bug #530: "Stop service on return to movie list" setting does nothing

    Remove code and config list entries associated with config.movielist.stop_service.

    Leave config.movielist.stop_service in place for backward compatibility, but flag it as unused. Add code to set it back to its default value if it has a non-default value to clear it from /etc/enigma2/settings.

    Move the code used by config.movielist.stop_service to restart timeshift recording at the end of playback if live TV starts in the background of the selection list.
