Build Highlights:

1. New firmware
   
2. Various Kodi code cleanups
   
3. Includes PR6020 plus an extra patch to finally squash any remaining issues (hopefully - works for me). See comments. Depending on how many duplicate actors are in the v90 database, upgrading to v91 could be quite slow (almost 2 minutes to complete the upgrade on the Pi, the bulk of this time taken fixing 100 duplicate actors). Thanks @virtuallysafe for the testing and logs over the last few days.
