A crash can occur in res_hep_pjsip or res_hep_rtcp if res_hep has not
loaded and does not have a configuration file. Previously when this
occurred, checks were put in to see if the configuration was loaded
successfully. While this is a good idea - and has been added to the
offending function in res_hep - the reality is res_hep_pjsip and
res_hep_rtcp have no business running if res_hep isn't also running.
As such, this patch also adds a function to res_hep that returns whether
or not it successfully loaded. Oddly enough, ast_module_check returns
"everything is peachy" even if a module declined its load - so it cannot
be solely relied on. res_hep_pjsip and res_hep_rtcp now also check this
function to see if they should continue to load; if it fails, they
decline their load as well.

At one point in time, it seemed like a good idea to use the Asterisk
channel name as the HEP correlation UUID. In particular, it felt like
this would be a useful identifier to tie PJSIP messages and RTCP
messages together, along with whatever other data we may eventually send
to Homer. This also had the benefit of keeping the correlation UUID
channel technology agnostic.
In practice, it isn't as useful as hoped, for two reasons:
1) The first INVITE request received doesn't have a channel. As a
result, there is always an 'odd message out', leading it to be
potentially uncorrelated in Homer.
2) Other systems sending capture packets (Kamailio) use the SIP Call-ID.
This causes RTCP information to be uncorrelated to the SIP message
traffic seen by those capture nodes.
In order to support both (in case someone is trying to use res_hep_rtcp
with a non-PJSIP channel), this patch adds a new option, uuid_type, with
two valid values - 'call-id' and 'channel'. The uuid_type option is used
by a module to determine the preferred UUID type. When available, that
source of a correlation UUID is used; when not, the more readily available
source is used.
For res_hep_pjsip:
- uuid_type = call-id: the module uses the SIP Call-ID header value
- uuid_type = channel: the module uses the channel name if available,
falling back to SIP Call-ID if not
For res_hep_rtcp:
- uuid_type = call-id: the module uses the SIP Call-ID header if the
channel type is PJSIP and we have a channel,
falling back to the Stasis event provided
channel name if not
- uuid_type = channel: the module uses the channel name

This patch adds the following:
(1) A new module, res_hep, which implements a generic packet capture agent for
the Homer Encapsulation Protocol (HEP) version 3. Note that this code is based
on a patch provided by Alexandr Dubovikov; I basically just wrapped it up,
added configuration via the configuration framework, and threw in a
taskprocessor.
(2) A new module, res_hep_pjsip, which forwards all SIP message traffic that
passes through the res_pjsip stack over to res_hep for encapsulation and
transmission to a HEPv3 capture server.
Much thanks to Alexandr for his Asterisk patch for this code and for a *lot*
of patience waiting for me to port it to 12/trunk. Due to some dithering on
my part, this has taken the better part of a year to port forward (I still
blame CDRs for the delay).
