Bug description:
mythtv-backend requires mysql, so it should not start until mysql has started and it should stop when mysql is stopping.

Due to bug #608423 mysql fails to start on my machine.  Because of the 'respawn' directive in /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf, my /var/log/syslog was quickly filled with the following:

...
Jul 23 19:18:01 myth init: mythtv-backend main process (26729) terminated with status 254
Jul 23 19:18:01 myth init: mythtv-backend main process ended, respawning
Jul 23 19:18:04 myth init: mythtv-backend main process (26735) terminated with status 254
Jul 23 19:18:04 myth init: mythtv-backend main process ended, respawning
Jul 23 19:18:08 myth init: mythtv-backend main process (26741) terminated with status 254
Jul 23 19:18:08 myth init: mythtv-backend main process ended, respawning
...

and my /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log was filled with "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'myth' (111)" errors.

The attached patch modifies the upstart config file to wait until mysql starts before starting mythtv-backend and stop mythtv-backend when mysql is stopping.
