A big one...
This is the merge of the forward-loop branch. The main change here is that call-forwards can no longer loop.
This is accomplished by creating a datastore on the calling channel which has a linked list of all devices
dialed. If a forward happens, then the local channel which is created inherits the datastore. If, through this
progression of forwards and datastore inheritance, a device is attempted to be dialed a second time, it will simply
be skipped and a warning message will be printed to the CLI. After the dialing has been completed, the datastore
is detached from the channel and destroyed.
This change also introduces some side effects to the code which I shall enumerate here:
1. Datastore inheritance has been backported from trunk into 1.4
2. A large chunk of code has been removed from app_dial. This chunk is the section of code
which handles the call forward case after the channel has been requested but before it has
been called. This was removed because call-forwarding still works fine without it, it makes the
code less error-prone should it need changing, and it made this set of changes much less painful
to just have the forwarding handled in one place in each module.
3. Two new files, global_datastores.h and .c have been added. These are necessary since the datastore
which is attached to the channel may be created and attached in either app_dial or app_queue, so they
need a common place to find the datastore info. This approach was taken in case similar datastores are
needed in the future, there will be a common place to add them.
