Remove the need for region-specific device profiles

Some devices require DLNA profile names to be substituted (via profiles.xml) to get certain files to be recognized. These substitutions may contain region-specific media types for MPEG-PS and MPEG-TS.

Currently Serviio advertises files of these types multiple times, once with each regional profile name (e.g. MPEG_TS_SD_EU, MPEG_TS_SD_NA, MPEG_TS_SD_KO).

Serviio does not do this for DLNA profiles which have been renamed, but it could, and this would remove the need to have multiple region device profiles (presuming other features don't differ between regions).

I also notice that MPEG_TS_SD_JP is missing (I think that's a valid one, but it may need checking).

My suggestion is that you could use any region's formats in your profiles.xml substitutions, and Serviio would always list all regions' DLNA profiles as it prepares the SOAP response for the client.
