When stream support was added to Asterisk the stream state
was used inconsistently, resulting in odd behavior. This
was then standardized to be the state of a stream from the
perspective of Asterisk.
This change updates the StreamEcho dialplan application
to use the correct state, send only, since we are only
sending to the endpoint and not expecting them to send us
multiple video streams.

Discovered while experimenting with Cyber Mega Phone 2K Ultimate Dynamic
Edition after accepting the audio request but declining the video one.

Fixed the following bugs:
* calls to stream_echo_write had the last two parameters swapped
* ast_read should have been ast_read_stream
* added a null check on the frame's subclass format
This also resets the update_sent flag upon receiving SRRCHANGE control frame.
This will then force a video update.

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.

If the channel does not have multi-stream support then this application acts
just like app_echo. If it does have multi-stream support then each stream is
echoed back to itself (one-to-one).
If a "num" is specified, then a new topology is made that contains clones (from
the channel's topology) of all media types that are not equal to the given
"type". If the media type differs then the first stream matching the "type" is
cloned into the new topology and then up to "num" - 1 of the same stream are
also cloned into it. Any additional streams from the original topology matching
the "type" are subsequently ignored (i.e. not added to the new topology).
For this same case when a frame is read from a stream that frame is still
echoed back like before, but now that frame is also echoed out to the
additional streams that matched on the specified "type".
