* Added ability to get iPlayer programme metadata and thumbs even if a programme is unavailable.
* The use of --metadataonly, --subsonly or --thumbonly options will now prevent a recording when used with --pid.
* Overhauled the method of getting metadata, subs and thumbnails for existing programmes in the history.
* It will now create metadata files, subs and thumbs matching the prefix of the originally recorded file.
* e.g. 'get_iplayer --history --metadataonly --subsonly --metadata=generic --thumbonly <search of history>'
* Or, 'get_iplayer --history --metadataonly --subsonly --metadata=generic --thumbonly --pid <pid in history>'
* Added --skipdeleted to skip matches if the media file has been deleted when in --history mode.
