PATCH 1/1 w_scan: allow frontend and demux selection

I found a problem with w_scan. With the following system (2x HVR-4000):

/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 : DVB-S/S2
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 : DVB-T
/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 : DVB-S/S2
/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend1 : DVB-T

there is no way to do a (DVB-T) scan on adapter1/frontend1 because 1)the automatic selector will always choose adapter0/frontend1 and
2)the -a option (manual adapter) always forces frontend = 0.

Here's a patch for w_scan which allows one to precisely choose which frontend is scanned by adding options to specify frontend (-n) and demux (-d), to be used with the existing adapter (-a) option.
