A slight workaround to fix problems with throbber when searching.

The root cause is the 'origin' link in pages that gets incorrectly
relinked when a page is closed. Not 100% how to fix this but this
workaround seems to do it for now

Fixes #2177

prop: Add new value type 'PROP' which is just a reference to another prop

Much more lightweight than prop_link since this cannot be followed nor
subscribed to indirectly

Also use this for the "openedFrom" navigator page property to avoid
serious link/unlink problems causing some properties to lose their
subscription binding

Fixes #2177

That is not youtube's fault. That is reproducible on any plugin. On first search - throbber starts spinning when searchers begin to work. And after searchers finished the work, throbber stops - that all is by design. But after you enter any result/folder - and return back - throbber is not working anymore globally...

With this simple code you reproduce that:

    plugin.addSearcher("Throbber", logo,
    function(page, query) {
        page.entries = 0;
        page.appendItem(PREFIX + 'throbber' ,"directory", {
            title: "If you see me - throbber is not working anymore. Just return back to home and check :(" 
        });
        page.entries++;
    });

This is nasty and long staying, so I'm raising it...

Is this bug the reason that Showtime locks up after a couple of searches on PS3?

I don't think so, but I can't be 100% sure

I still encounter this bug, but I think it is in the YTS.re implementation. The search takes a very long time when YTS.re sources are being searched through, Youtube and the others are immediately presenting results, but this last one does not (at least on my config). Eventually, it locks up to total freeze, and then I have to hard reboot my PS3. Or it quits to XMB, I can't remember when it does that.
