Updated the MixMonitor documentation for the 'b' option so that
it is more obvious that you must not optimize away the Local
channel when using this option.

This patch adds 'const' tags to a number of Asterisk APIs where they are appropriate (where the API already demanded that the function argument not be modified, but the compiler was not informed of that fact). The list includes:
- CLI command handlers
- CLI command handler arguments
- AGI command handlers
- AGI command handler arguments
- Dialplan application handler arguments
- Speech engine API function arguments
In addition, various file-scope and function-scope constant arrays got 'const' and/or 'static' qualifiers where they were missing.

There is a lot that could be said about this, but the patch is a big
improvement for performance, stability, code maintainability,
and ease of future code development.
The channel list is no longer an unsorted linked list. The main container
for channels is an astobj2 hash table. All of the code related to searching
for channels or iterating active channels has been rewritten. Let n be
the number of active channels. Iterating the channel list has gone from
O(n^2) to O(n). Searching for a channel by name went from O(n) to O(1).
Searching for a channel by extension is still O(n), but uses a new method
for doing so, which is more efficient.
The ast_channel object is now a reference counted object. The benefits
here are plentiful. Some benefits directly related to issues in the
previous code include:
1) When threads other than the channel thread owning a channel wanted
access to a channel, it had to hold the lock on it to ensure that it didn't
go away. This is no longer a requirement. Holding a reference is
sufficient.
2) There are places that now require less dealing with channel locks.
3) There are places where channel locks are held for much shorter periods
of time.
4) There are places where dealing with more than one channel at a time becomes
_MUCH_ easier. ChanSpy is a great example of this. Writing code in the
future that deals with multiple channels will be much easier.
Some additional information regarding channel locking and reference count
handling can be found in channel.h, where a new section has been added that
discusses some of the rules associated with it.
Mark Michelson also assisted with the development of this patch. He did the
conversion of ChanSpy and introduced a new API, ast_autochan, which makes it
much easier to deal with holding on to a channel pointer for an extended period
of time and having it get automatically updated if the channel gets masqueraded.
Mark was also a huge help in the code review process.
Thanks to David Vossel for his assistance with this branch, as well. David
did the conversion of the DAHDIScan application by making it become a wrapper
for ChanSpy internally.
The changes come from the svn/asterisk/team/russell/ast_channel_ao2 branch.

Fix a problem where a channel pointer becomes invalid due to masquerading or hanging up.
app_mixmonitor runs its own thread to monitor the channel's activity and write the mixed
audio to a file. Since this thread runs independently of the channel, it is possible that
the mixmonitor thread's channel pointer will point to freed memory when the channel either
is masqueraded or hangs up (technically, both cases are hangups, but we need to handle the
cases slightly differently).
The solution for this is to employ a datastore, which has the nice benefit of allowing us
to hook into channel masquerades and hangups and update our pointer as necessary. If this
looks familiar, this same technique is employed in app_chanspy. app_chanspy is a bit more
involved since it does a lot more operations on the channel that is being spied upon.
app_mixmonitor does have an extra touch that app_chanspy doesn't have, though. Since there
is a thread race between the channel's thread and the mixmonitor thread on a hangup, we em-
ploy a condition-and-boolean combination to ensure that the channel thread finishes with
our structure before the mixmonitor thread attempts to free it. No crashes!

This commit introduces the first phase of an effort to manage documentation of the
interfaces in Asterisk in an XML format. Currently, a new format is available for
applications and dialplan functions. A good number of conversions to the new format
are also included.

This work is done by lmadsen, junky and mvanbaak
during AstriDevCon.
This is the second audit the CLI got, and
this time lmadsen made sure he had _ALL_ modules
loaded that have CLI commands in them.

Add a trigger mode that triggers on both read and write. The actual function that returns the combined audio frame though will wait until both sides have fed in audio, or until one side stops (such as the case when you call Wait).

In this commit:
- move the ast_register/unregister_app functions to module.h
to avoid the need to include pbx.h for the simpler apps;
- move the ast_group structure to channel.h to remove the
dependency of app.h on linkedlists.h
Note, this is a long process that I am doing in small steps.
The main difficulty is that now for each subsystem we
have a single header (e.g. channel.h) included by the subsystem
provider (usually one file, e.g. channel.c) and by its clients
(dozens of them, e.g. we have some 70+ apps and 30+ functions).
This requires the clients to include all the extra headers
required by the provider (eg. lock.h, linkedlists.h, definitions
of substructures...) even though many of the clients would be
just happy with opaque struct declarations and function prototypes.
The long term plan is to eventually rectify this structure
so that the compilation can become faster, and also APIs
are more stable.

build times - tested, there is no measureable difference before and
after this commit.
In this change:
use asterisk/compat.h to include a small set of system headers:
inttypes.h, unistd.h, stddef.h, stddint.h, sys/types.h, stdarg.h,
stdlib.h, alloca.h, stdio.h
Where available, the inclusion is conditional on HAVE_FOO_H as determined
by autoconf.
Normally, source files should not include any of the above system headers,
and instead use either "asterisk.h" or "asterisk/compat.h" which does it
better.
For the time being I have left alone second-level directories
(main/db1-ast, etc.).

Some sanity checking for MixMonitor. If only 1 argument is given, then the args.options
and args.post_process strings are uninitialized and could contain garbage. This change
handles this situation properly by only using arguments that we have parsed.
