As partly documented in loader.c and include/asterisk/module.h,
modules are now expected to return all of their methods and flags
into a structure 'mod_data', and are normally loaded with RTLD_NOW
| RTLD_LOCAL, so symbols are resolved immediately and conflicts
should be less likely. Only in a small number of cases (res_*,
typically) modules are loaded RTLD_GLOBAL, so they can export
symbols.
The core of the change is only the two files loader.c and
include/asterisk/module.h, all the rest is simply adaptation of the
existing modules to the new API, a rather mechanical (but believe
me, time and finger-consuming!) process whose detail you can figure
out by svn diff'ing any single module.
Expect some minor compilation issue after this change, please
report it on mantis http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6968
so we collect all the feedback in one place.
I am just sorry that this change missed SVN version number 20000!

const-ify some more APIs
remove 'type' field from ast_channel, in favor of the one in the channel's tech structure
allow string field module users to specify the 'chunk size' for pool allocations
update chan_alsa to be compatible with recent const-ification patches

In general, LOCAL_USER_ADD/REMOVE should be the first/last thing called in an
application. An exception is if there is some *fast* setup code that might
halt the execution of the application, such as checking to see if an argument
exists.
