Playing back a file to a channel in an ARI bridge would attempt to wait until
the playback concluded before returning. The method used involved signaling the
waiting thread in the ARI custom playback function.
The problem with this is that there were some corner cases that were not accounted for:
* If a bridge channel could not be found, then we never would attempt the playback but
would still attempt to wait for the playback to complete.
* If the bridge playfile action failed to queue, we would still attempt to wait for the
playback to complete.
* If the bridge playfile action were queued but some circumstance caused the playback
not to occur (the bridge dies, the channel is removed from the bridge), then we would
never be notified.
The solution to this is to move the waiting logic into the bridge code. A new bridge
API function is added to queue a synchronous action on a bridge. The waiting thread
is notified when the queued frame has been freed, either due to an error occurring
or due to successful playback. As a failsafe, the waiting thread has a 10 minute
timeout just in case there is a frame leak somewhere.

The crash is caused by a race condition when switching between native RTP
and softmix bridging technologies. In this situation, the bridging
technology is switched from native RTP to softmix, and then back to native
RTP fast enough that the softmix private data gets destroyed before the
softmix mixing thread gets started.
Thanks to Kinsey Moore for the crash analysis.
* Fix race condition when starting the softmix mixing thread and switching
to another bridge technology.

Channel snapshots have string representations of the channel's native formats.
Prior to this change, the format strings were re-created on ever channel snapshot
creation. Since channel native formats rarely change, this was very wasteful.
Now, string representations of formats may optionally be stored on the ast_format_cap
for cases where string representations may be requested frequently. When formats
are altered, the string cache is marked as invalid. When strings are requested, the
cache validity is checked. If the cache is valid, then the cached strings are copied.
If the cache is invalid, then the string cache is rebuilt and copied, and the cache
is marked as being valid again.

This patch renames the bridging* files to bridge*. This may seem pedantic
and silly, but it fits better in line with current Asterisk naming conventions:
* channel is not "channeling"
* monitor is not "monitoring"
etc.
A bridge is an object. It is a first class citizen in Asterisk. "Bridging" is
the act of using a bridge on a set of channels - and the API that fulfills that
role is more than just the action.

Created a native_dahdi bridging technology for use with the new bridging
API.
The new bridging technology is part of the chan_dahdi channel driver
because it is very specific to that driver. Rather than include the new
code directly into chan_dahdi.c the new bridge technology is in its own
file and linked into chan_dahdi.so. A large part of this change is the
mechanical process of moving declarations around so chan_dahdi.c can be
split up into more files later.
* Changed the bridging core to pass NULL frames into the channel
technologies instead of discarding them. The channel technologies may
need the proding to determine if their configuration is still valid.

* Extract a useful routine from the softmix bridge technology for other
technologies. Make other technologies use it if they can.
* Made native and 1-1 bridges write to all parties if the bridge channel
writing the frame into the bridge is NULL. Softmix will also do the same
for frame types that make sense.
* Tweak the bridge write routine return value meaning and adjust the
bridge technologies to match.

The bridge frame queue functions need to return an error status if the
frame failed to be queued because of an error condition. The main calls
that needed to return the status are:
ast_bridge_channel_queue_action_data() and
ast_bridge_channel_write_action_data(). The other return changes are
ripple effects.

A three party bridge uses the softmix bridging technology. This
technology has a dedicated thread used to perform the analog mixing. When
one of these parties leaves the bridge, the bridge technology is changed
from the softmix technology to a two-party mixing technology. Changing
technologies is done by removing channels from the old technology and
adding them to the new technology. Since the remaining channels do not
leave the bridge, the softmix mixing thread could continue to process all
channels in the bridge. If the bridge code is not able to start
destruction of the softmix technology before the softmix mixing thread
wakes up, a crash happens.
* Added a stop technology callback that technologies can use to request
any helper threads to stop in preparation for being destroyed.

Currently, if an acknowledgement of a timer fails Asterisk will not realize
that a serious error occurred and will continue attempting to use the timer's
file descriptor. This can lead to situations where errors stream to the
CLI/log file. This consumes significant resources, masks the actual problem
that occurred (whatever caused the timer to fail in the first place), and
can leave channels in odd states.
This patch propagates the errors in the timing resource modules up through
the timer core, and makes users of these timers handle acknowledgement
failures. It also adds some defensive coding around the use of timers
to prevent using bad file descriptors in off nominal code paths.
Note that the patch created by the issue reporter was modified slightly for
this commit and backported to 1.8, as it was originally written for
Asterisk 10.

-Functional changes
1. Dynamic global format list build by codecs defined in codecs.conf
2. SILK 8khz, 12khz, 16khz, and 24khz with custom attributes defined in codecs.conf
3. Negotiation of SILK attributes in chan_sip.
4. SPEEX 32khz with translation
5. SLINEAR 8khz, 12khz, 24khz, 32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 96khz, 192khz with translation
using codec_resample.c
6. Various changes to RTP code required to properly handle the dynamic format list
and formats with attributes.
7. ConfBridge now dynamically jumps to the best possible sample rate. This allows
for conferences to take advantage of HD audio (Which sounds awesome)
8. Audiohooks are no longer limited to 8khz audio, and most effects have been
updated to take advantage of this such as Volume, DENOISE, PITCH_SHIFT.
9. codec_resample now uses its own code rather than depending on libresample.
-Organizational changes
Global format list is moved from frame.c to format.c
Various format specific functions moved from frame.c to format.c

This patch is the foundation of an entire new way of looking at media in Asterisk.
The code present in this patch is everything required to complete phase1 of my
Media Architecture proposal. For more information about this project visit the link below.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal
The primary function of this patch is to convert all the usages of format
bitfields in Asterisk to use the new format and format_cap APIs. Functionally
no change in behavior should be present in this patch. Thanks to twilson
and russell for all the time they spent reviewing these changes.

The ability to load/unload timing interfaces is nice, but it means that when a timer is allocated, it may come from provider A, but later provider B becomes the 'preferred' provider. If this happens, all timer API calls on the timer that was provided by provider A will actually be handed to provider B, which will say WTF and return an error.
This patch changes the timer API to include a pointer to the provider of the timer handle so that future operations on the timer will be forwarded to the proper provider.

It is possible for a bridge to be created without actually being used.
In that scenario a timing file descriptor would be opened and not
closed. To fix this the timing file descriptor is now closed in the
destroy callback, not the thread function.

and starting it. We now open a timer when creating it and keep it open until the
