Stasis performance improvements
This patch addresses several performance problems that were found in
the initial performance testing of Asterisk 12.
The Stasis dispatch object was allocated as an AO2 object, even though
it has a very confined lifecycle. This was replaced with a straight
ast_malloc().
The Stasis message router was spending an inordinate amount of time
searching hash tables. In this case, most of our routers had 6 or
fewer routes in them to begin with. This was replaced with an array
that's searched linearly for the route.
We more heavily rely on AO2 objects in Asterisk 12, and the memset()
in ao2_ref() actually became noticeable on the profile. This was
#ifdef'ed to only run when AO2_DEBUG was enabled.
After being misled by an erroneous comment in taskprocessor.c during
profiling, the wrong comment was removed.

Taskprocessor optimization; switch Stasis to use taskprocessors
This patch optimizes taskprocessor to use a semaphore for signaling,
which the OS can do a better job at managing contention and waiting
that we can with a mutex and condition.
The taskprocessor execution was also slightly optimized to reduce the
number of locks taken.
The only observable difference in the taskprocessor implementation is
that when the final reference to the taskprocessor goes away, it will
execute all tasks to completion instead of discarding the unexecuted
tasks.
For systems where unnamed semaphores are not supported, a really
simple semaphore implementation is provided. (Which gives identical
performance as the original taskprocessor implementation).
The way we ended up implementing Stasis caused the threadpool to be a
burden instead of a boost to performance. This was switched to just
use taskprocessors directly for subscriptions.

Optimize how Stasis forwards are dispatched
This patch optimizes how forwards are dispatched in Stasis.
Originally, forwards were dispatched as subscriptions that are invoked
on the publishing thread. This did not account for the vast number of
forwards we would end up having in the system, and the amount of work it
would take to walk though the forward subscriptions.
This patch modifies Stasis so that rather than walking the tree of
forwards on every dispatch, when forwards and subscriptions are changed,
the subscriber list for every topic in the tree is changed.
This has a couple of benefits. First, this reduces the workload of
dispatching messages. It also reduces contention when dispatching to
different topics that happen to forward to the same aggregation topic
(as happens with all of the channel, bridge and endpoint topics).
Since forwards are no longer subscriptions, the bulk of this patch is
simply changing stasis_subscription objects to stasis_forward objects
(which, admittedly, I should have done in the first place.)
Since this required me to yet again put in a growing array, I finally
abstracted that out into a set of ast_vector macros in
asterisk/vector.h.

Remove dispatch object allocation from Stasis publishing
While looking for areas for performance improvement, I realized that an
unused feature in Stasis was negatively impacting performance.
When a message is sent to a subscriber, a dispatch object is allocated
for the dispatch, containing the topic the message was published to, the
subscriber the message is being sent to, and the message itself.
The topic is actually unused by any subscriber in Asterisk today. And
the subscriber is associated with the taskprocessor the message is being
dispatched to.
First, this patch removes the unused topic parameter from Stasis
subscription callbacks.
Second, this patch introduces the concept of taskprocessor local data,
data that may be set on a taskprocessor and provided along with the data
pointer when a task is pushed using the ast_taskprocessor_push_local()
call. This allows the task to have both data specific to that
taskprocessor, in addition to data specific to that invocation.
With those two changes, the dispatch object can be removed completely,
and the message is simply refcounted and sent directly to the
taskprocessor.

ast_manager_build_channel_state_string_prefix().
* Made BridgeMerge AMI event use To/From prefixes.

This prevents XML documentation duplication by expanding channel and
bridge snapshot tags into channel and bridge snapshot parameter sets
with a given prefix or defaulting to no prefix. This also prevents
documentation from becoming fractured and out of date by keeping all
variations of the documentation in template form such that it only
needs to be updated once and keeps maintenance to a minimum.

In working with res_stasis, I discovered a significant limitation to
the current structure of stasis_caching_topics: you cannot subscribe
to cache updates for a single channel/bridge/endpoint/etc.
To address this, this patch splits the cache away from the
stasis_caching_topic, making it a first class object. The stasis_cache
object is shared amongst individual stasis_caching_topics that are
created per channel/endpoint/etc. These are still forwarded to global
whatever_all_cached topics, so their use from most of the code does
not change.
In making these changes, I noticed that we frequently used a similar
pattern for bridges, endpoints and channels:
single_topic ----------------> all_topic
^
|
single_topic_cached ----+----> all_topic_cached
|
+----> cache
This pattern was extracted as the 'Stasis Caching Pattern', defined in
stasis_caching_pattern.h. This avoids a lot of duplicate code between
the different domain objects.
Since the cache is now disassociated from its upstream caching topics,
this also necessitated a change to how the 'guaranteed' flag worked
for retrieving from a cache. The code for handling the caching
guarantee was extracted into a 'stasis_topic_wait' function, which
works for any stasis_topic.

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.

This adds new flags to the channel tech properties that flag it as
different types of implementation detail used exclusively to provide a
feature. Examples of channels that would have these flags include the
announcement and recording channels used by confbridge which are the
only two marked as such by this patch.

The attended transfer API call can complete the attended transfer in a number of ways
depending on the current bridged states of the channels involved.
The hiding of masquerades is done in some bridging-related functions, such as the manager
Bridge action and the Bridge dialplan application. In addition, call pickup was edited
to "move" a channel rather than masquerade it.

New in 12 are the ConfBridgeMute/Unmute events, which are triggered when a user
changes their mute/unmute state. This was typically triggered when a user hit a
DTMF key that triggered the mute/unmute menu handler. Forgotten in this is when an
AMI action or CLI command triggers the mute/unmute. This patch now raises the
events in those situations as well.
