stream_dvb: Add possibility to dump a full transponder.
Was already possible before by injecting the magic PID 8192 into channels.conf, the flag makes this much more useable and we also have it documented. Useful not only for debugging, but also for incomplete channels.conf (mplayer format...), multi-channel recording, or channels which do dynamic PID switchng. full-transponder is also useful for channels which switch PIDs on-the-fly. ffmpeg can handle this, but it needs the full stream with all PIDs.

Classic mplayer format channel lists are still supported (without
these improvements), and for other card types, only limited VDR
format channel list support is implemented (patches welcome).
+ For channels with dynamic PID switching or incomplete
+ ``channels.conf``, ``--dvbin-full-transponder`` or the magic PID
+ ``8192`` are recommended.
``--dvbin-timeout=<1-30>``
Maximum number of seconds to wait when trying to tune a frequency before
giving up (default: 30).
+``--dvbin-full-transponder=<yes|no>``
+ Apply no filters on program PIDs, only tune to frequency and pass full
+ transponder to demuxer. This is useful to record multiple programs
+ on a single transponder, or to work around issues in the ``channels.conf``.
+ It is also recommended to use this for channels which switch PIDs
+ on-the-fly, e.g. for regional news.

+ Default: ``no``
