This patch started out simply as fixing the bouncing tests introduced
in r382685, but required some other changes to give it a decent
implementation.
To fix the bouncing tests, the UserEvent and Newexten AMI events
needed to be refactored to dispatch via Stasis. Dispatching directly
to AMI resulted in those events sometimes getting ahead of the
associated Newchannel events, which would understandably confuse anyone.
I found that instead of creating a zillion different message types and
structures associated with them, it would be preferable to define a
message type that has a channel snapshot and a blob of structured data
with a small bit of additional information. The JSON object model
provides a very nice way of representing structured data, so I went
with that.
* Move JSON support from res_json.c to main/json.c
* Made libjansson-dev a required dependency
* Added an ast_channel_blob message type, which has a channel
snapshot and JSON blob of data.
* Changed UserEvent and Newexten events so that they are dispatched
via ast_channel_blob messages on the channel's topic.
* Got rid of the ast_channel_varset message; used ast_channel_blob
instead.
* Extracted the manager functions converting Stasis channel events to
AMI events into manager_channel.c.

This provides a JSON API by pulling in and wrapping the Jansson JSON
library[1]. The Asterisk API basically mirrors the Jansson
functionality, with a few minor tweaks.
* Some names have been asteriskified to protect the innocent.
* Jansson provides both reference-stealing and reference-borrowing
versions of several API's. The Asterisk API is exclusively
reference-stealing for operations that put elements into arrays and
objects.
* No support for doubles, since we usually don't need that.
* Coming along for the ride is the ast_test_validate macro, which made
the unit tests much easier to write.
