George Joseph c27c232057 ari/resource_channels: Add 'formats' to channel create/originate
If you create a local channel and don't specify an originator channel
to take capabilities from, we automatically add all audio formats to
the new channel's capabilities. When we try to make the channel
compatible with another, the "best format" functions pick the best
format available, which in this case will be slin192.  While this is
great for preserving quality, it's the worst for performance and
overkill for the vast majority of applications.

In the absense of any other information, adding all formats is the
correct thing to do and it's not always possible to supply an
originator so a new parameter 'formats' has been added to the channel
create/originate functions. It's just a comma separated list of formats
to make availalble for the channel. Example: "ulaw,slin,slin16".
'formats' and 'originator' are mutually exclusive.

To facilitate determination of format names, the format name has been
added to "core show codecs".

This directory contains the specification for the Asterisk RESTful
API. The API is documented using Swagger[1]. This is used to not only
generate executable documentation pages for the API, but also to
generate a lot of the boilerplate necessary for implementing the API
with Asterisk's HTTP server.
