[mythtvnz] Raspberry Pi as a frontend

[skooobie doo]

Sorry, didn't mean to dump. For me this is why below. But if only for myth
frontend then Pi is easily adequate. In any case these keep getting
smaller, faster, cheaper and more powerful.

More than just for mythtv. Better to handle an overall media system, incl
media conversion.

Cheaper and faster
Gigabit ethernet port
Additional IO pins and options
4k Video support

Quad-core ARM Cortex A53 1.2GHz processor, dual-core Mali 400 MP2 graphics,
support for up to 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a microSD slot (which can handle cards
up to 256GB), up to gigabit ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI 1.4
connector offering 4K output and both a stereo mini-jack connector and
built-in 3.7V Lithium battery charging circuit.

Currently about half the price of Pi2.
