When bridging channels we were trying to match the audio
formats of both sides in combination with the configured
formats. While this is allowed in SDP in practice this
causes extra reinvites and problems. This change ensures
that audio streams use the formats of the first existing
active audio stream. It is only when other stream types
(like video) exist that this will result in re-negotiation
occurring for those streams only.

Some places in Asterisk did not treat the formats on a stream
as immutable when they are.
The ast_stream_get_formats function is now const to enforce this
and parts of Asterisk have been updated to take this into account.
Some violations of this were also fixed along the way.
An additional minor tweak is that streams are now allocated with
an empty format capabilities structure removing the need in various
places to check that one is present on the stream.

This change adds support to bridge_softmix to allow the addition
and removal of additional video source streams. When such a change
occurs each participant is renegotiated as needed to reflect the
update. If another video source is added then each participant
gets another source. If a video source is removed then it is
removed from each participant. This functionality allows you to
have both your webcam and screenshare providing video if you
desire, or even more streams. Mapping has been changed to use
the topology index on the source channel as a unique identifier
for outgoing participant streams, this will never change and
provides an easy way to establish the mapping.
The bridge_simple and bridge_native_rtp modules have also been
updated to renegotiate when the stream topology of a party changes
allowing the same behavior to occur as added to bridge_softmix.
If a screen share is added then the opposite party is renegotiated.
If that screen share is removed then the opposite party is
renegotiated again.
Some additional fixes are also included in here. Stream state is
now conveyed in SDP so sendonly/recvonly/inactive streams can
be requested. Removed streams now also remove previous state
from themselves so consumers don't get confused.

When making channels compatible the bridge_simple module
will renegotiate one to better match the other. Some
endpoints incorrectly terminate the call if this process
fails.
To better handle this scenario the audio streams present
on the new requested topology will include any existing
negotiated formats that happen to exist on the first
valid audio stream. This ensures formats are persent that
are known to be acceptable to the remote endpoint.

This change adds a deferred queue to bridging. If a bridge
technology determines that a frame can not be written and
should be deferred it can indicate back to bridging to do so.
Bridging will then requeue any deferred frames upon a new
channel joining the bridge.
This change has been leveraged for T.38 request negotiate
control frames. Without the deferred queue there is a race
condition between the bridge receiving the T.38 request
negotiate and the second channel joining and being in the
bridge. If the channel is not yet in the bridge then the T.38
negotiation fails.
A unit test has also been added that confirms that a T.38
request negotiate control frame is deferred when no other
channel is in the bridge and that it is requeued when a new
channel joins the bridge.

This sets up the "plumbing" in bridge_softmix to
be able to accommodate Asterisk asking as an SFU
(selective forwarding unit) for conferences.
The way this works is that whenever a channel enters or leaves a
conference, all participants in the bridge get sent a stream topology
change request. The topologies consist of the channels' original
topology, along with video destination streams corresponding to each
participants' source video streams. So for instance, if Alice, Bob, and
Carol are in the conference, and each supplies one video stream, then
the topologies for each would look like so:
Alice:
Audio,
Source video(Alice),
Destination Video(Bob),
Destination video (Carol)
Bob:
Audio,
Source video(Bob)
Destination Video(Alice),
Destination video (Carol)
Carol:
Audio,
Source video(Carol)
Destination Video(Alice),
Destination video (Bob)
This way, video that arrives from a source video stream can then be
copied out to the destination video streams on the other participants'
channels.
Once the bridge gets told that a topology on a channel has changed, the
bridge constructs a map in order to get the video frames routed to the
proper destination streams. This is done using the bridge channel's
stream_map.
This change is bare-bones with regards to SFU support. Some key features
are missing at this point:
* Stream limits. This commit makes no effort to limit the number of
streams on a specific channel. This means that if there were 50 video
callers in a conference, bridge_softmix will happily send out topology
change requests to every channel in the bridge, requesting 50+
streams.
* Configuration. The plumbing has been added to bridge_softmix, but
there has been nothing added as of yet to app_confbridge to enable SFU
video mode.
* Testing. Some functions included here have unit tests.
However, the functionality as a whole has only been verified by
hand-tracing the code.
* Selectivenss. For a "selective" forwarding unit, this does not
currently have any means of being selective.
* Features. Presumably, someone might wish to only receive video from
specific sources. There are no external-facing functions at the moment
that allow for users to select who they receive video from.
* Efficiency. The current scheme treats all video streams as being
unidirectional. We could be re-using a source video stream as a
desetnation, too. But to simplify things on this first round, I did it
this way.

This patch is the first cut at adding stream support to the bridging framework.
Changes were made to the framework that allows mapping of stream topologies to
a bridge's supported media types.
The first channel to enter a bridge initially defines the media types for a
bridge (i.e. a one to one mapping is created between the bridge and the first
channel). Subsequently added channels merge their media types into the bridge's
adding to it when necessary. This allows channels with different sized
topologies to map correctly to each other according to media type. The bridge
drops any frame that does not have a matching index into a given write stream.
For now though, bridge_simple will align its two channels according to size or
first to join. Once both channels join the bridge the one with the most streams
will indicate to the other channel to update its streams to be the same as that
of the other. If both channels have the same number of streams then the first
channel to join is chosen as the stream base.
A topology change source was also added to a channel when a stream toplogy
change request is made. This allows subsystems to know whether or not they
initiated a change request. Thus avoiding potential recursive situations.

When a T.38 happens immediatly after call establishment, the control
frame can be lost because the other leg is not yet in the bridge.
This patch detects this case an makes sure T.38 negotation happens
when the 2nd leg is being made compatible with the negotating
first leg

ASTERISK_REGISTER_FILE no longer has any purpose so this commit removes
all traces of it.
Previously exported symbols removed:
* __ast_register_file
* __ast_unregister_file
* ast_complete_source_filename
This also removes the mtx_prof static variable that was declared when
MTX_PROFILE was enabled. This variable was only used in lock.c so it
is now initialized in that file only.

Git does not support the ability to replace a token with a version
string during check-in. While it does have support for replacing a
token on clone, this is somewhat sub-optimal: the token is replaced
with the object hash, which is not particularly easy for human
consumption. What's more, in practice, the source file version was often
not terribly useful. Generally, when triaging bugs, the overall version
of Asterisk is far more useful than an individual SVN version of a file. As a
result, this patch removes Asterisk's support for showing source file
versions.
Specifically, it does the following:
* Rename ASTERISK_FILE_VERSION macro to ASTERISK_REGISTER_FILE, and
remove passing the version in with the macro. Other facilities
than 'core show file version' make use of the file names, such as
setting a debug level only on a specific file. As such, the act of
registering source files with the Asterisk core still has use. The
macro rename now reflects the new macro purpose.
* main/asterisk:
- Refactor the file_version structure to reflect that it no longer
tracks a version field.
- Remove the "core show file version" CLI command. Without the file
version, it is no longer useful.
- Remove the ast_file_version_find function. The file version is no
longer tracked.
- Rename ast_register_file_version/ast_unregister_file_version to
ast_register_file/ast_unregister_file, respectively.
* main/manager: Remove value from the Version key of the ModuleCheck
Action. The actual key itself has not been removed, as doing so would
absolutely constitute a backwards incompatible change. However, since
the file version is no longer tracked, there is no need to attempt to
include it in the Version key.
* UPGRADE: Add notes for:
- Modification to the ModuleCheck AMI Action
- Removal of the "core show file version" CLI command

When a channel enters the bridging system it is first made compatible with
the bridge and then the bridge technology makes the channel compatible
with the technology. For all but the DAHDI native and softmix bridge
technologies the make channel compatible with the bridge step is an
effective noop because the other technologies allow all audio formats.
For the DAHDI native bridge technology it doesn't matter because it is not
an initial bridge technology and chan_dahdi allows only one native format
per channel. For the softmix bridge technology, it is a noop at best and
harmful at worst because the wrong translation path could be setup if the
channel's native formats allow more than one audio format.
This is an intermediate patch for a series of patches aimed at improving
translation path choices.
* Removed code dealing with the unnecessary step of making the channel
compatible with the bridge.

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.

* 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.

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.
