1.0.0+kodimov.14: guide reload no longer skipped while the remote is in use; remove empty instances

- .190 on 2026-11-13: the box came on with an old epg.xml, Kodi stored it
  (no current programmes for 124 channels) and doesn't ask again for up to
  an hour. KodiMov+ wrote a new guide two minutes later, but the reload
  waited for 30 s without a key press and gave up after 10 minutes, while
  the guide was being browsed. It now waits for a 10 s pause, for as long
  as Kodi runs.
- Instances with no channel list (the "Migrated Add-on Config" Kodi makes
  when IPTV Simple is installed again) are removed once KodiMov+'s own
  instance exists.

 - **One IPTV Simple instance per channel list**: the TV guide setup rewrites the instance that already reads KodiMov+'s list (one set up with the original add-on, or by hand) instead of adding `instance-settings-91.xml` next to it, and the service deletes any extra one at Kodi start (keeping the one that isn't 91, which holds what was watched): two of them showed every channel twice.
 - Fixes the programme guide export of upstream 1.0.0 (the amazon.tv guide is a flat list).
 - Its own proxy port (57031), so it can run next to the original. After an update the new proxy waits for the old one to free the port instead of moving to a random one, so the channel being watched keeps playing (upstream sets `allow_reuse_address` and `SO_REUSEADDR` too late to take effect).
-- **Restarts IPTV Simple only while idle**: nothing playing and no key pressed for 30 seconds (a channel opened during a restart fails). After start or update a single guide reload also picks up changed instance files.
+- **Restarts IPTV Simple only while idle**: nothing playing and no key pressed for 10 seconds (a channel opened during a restart fails). It waits for that as long as Kodi runs: after the box was off, Kodi first loads the old guide file and keeps it (no current programmes) until the reload. After start or update a single guide reload also picks up changed instance files.
+- **Removes empty IPTV Simple instances** (no channel list, like the "Migrated Add-on Config" Kodi creates when IPTV Simple is installed again) once KodiMov+'s own instance is there.

 1.0.0+kodimov.12: no more channels twice in the TV guide on boxes where the TV guide setup was run over an existing setup (the extra IPTV Simple instance is removed, and the setup now rewrites the existing one). LALIGA, DAZN LALIGA and Liga de Campeones no longer go missing for 6 hours when Movistar's new servers refuse the box's registration as a web player once: it is tried again, and the TV guide list is rewritten half an hour later.
 1.0.0+kodimov.11: Movistar's channel numbers also show on boxes with more than one IPTV Simple instance (Radios de Vigo, a leftover empty one), where Kodi had refused the setting and numbered the channels 1, 2, 3...; existing TV guide setups are put right by themselves. KodiMov+ and Radios de Vigo no longer restart IPTV Simple at the same time.
 1.0.0+kodimov.10: the LALIGA, DAZN LALIGA and Liga de Campeones channels are back, live and catch-up, on boxes connected to the Movistar home network (their streams are now served only through Movistar's new servers). New setting to always play at the best quality, up to 1080p, instead of the 576p Kodi stays at on automatic (off by default). The "Error 4027" message no longer pops up when the add-on recovers from it by itself.
