After further discussion with Steve Underwood, we should not (yet) be offering
to receive MMR or JBIG transcoded streams from T.38 endpoints. A future spandsp
release will support those features, and then they can be enabled during
negotiation

so we should generate T38MaxBitRate of 14400 (even though that doesn't really
affect the FAX transmission much at all)

chan_sip has some code to automatically switch from T.38 mode to voice mode when
a voice frame is written to the channel while it is in T.38 mode; this was
intended to handle the situation when a FAX transmission has ended and the channel
is not yet hung up, but is causing problems at the beginning of FAX sessions as
well when there are still voice frames 'in flight' at the time the T.38 negotiation
completes. This patch removes the automatic switchover, and changes app_fax to
explicitly switch off T.38 mode when the FAX transmission process ends.

SendFAX() and ReceiveFAX() can be given options to indicate whether they should
act as the calling or called party; this mode should be used to decide whether
to initiate a switchover to T.38, not the direction that the FAX transfer will
take place.

This patch makes some small changes to handle watchdog timeouts in a better way,
and also uses a 'cleaner' method of including the spandsp header files.

In receive mode, if the channel that ReceiveFAX is running on supports T.38,
we should *always* attempt to switch T.38, rather than listening for an incoming
CNG tone and only triggering on that. The channel may be using a low-bitrate
codec that distorts the CNG tone, the sending FAX endpoint may not send CNG
at all, or there could be a variety of other reasons that we don't detect it,
but in all those cases if T.38 is available we certainly want to use it.

Over the past couple of months, a number of issues with Asterisk
negotiating (and successfully completing) T.38 sessions with various
endpoints have been found. This patch attempts to address many of
them, primarily focused around ensuring that the endpoints'
MaxDatagram size is honored, and in addition by ensuring that T.38
session parameter negotiation is performed correctly according to the
ITU T.38 Recommendation.
The major changes here are:
1) T.38 applications in Asterisk (app_fax) only generate/receive IFP
packets, they do not ever work with UDPTL packets. As a result of
this, they cannot be allowed to generate packets that would overflow
the other endpoints' MaxDatagram size after the UDPTL stack adds any
error correction information. With this patch, the application is told
the maximum *IFP* size it can generate, based on a calculation using
the far end MaxDatagram size and the active error correction mode on
the T.38 session. The same is true for sending *our* MaxDatagram size
to the remote endpoint; it is computed from the value that the
application says it can accept (for a single IFP packet) combined with
the active error correction mode.
2) All treatment of T.38 session parameters as 'capabilities' in
chan_sip has been removed; these parameters are not at all like
audio/video stream capabilities. There are strict rules to follow for
computing an answer to a T.38 offer, and chan_sip now follows those
rules, using the desired parameters from the application (or channel)
that wants to accept the T.38 negotiation.
3) chan_sip now stores and forwards ast_control_t38_parameters
structures for tracking 'our' and 'their' T.38 session parameters;
this greatly simplifies negotiation, especially for pass-through
calls.
4) Since T.38 negotiation without specifying parameters or receiving
the final negotiated parameters is not very worthwhile, the
AST_CONTROL_T38 control frame has been removed. A note has been added
to UPGRADE.txt about this removal, since any out-of-tree applications
that use it will no longer function properly until they are upgraded
to use AST_CONTROL_T38_PARAMETERS.

The transmit_audio() and transmit_t38() functions in app_fax have processing
loops that are supposed to wait for frames to arrive on the channel and then
handle them, but they also have short timeouts so that the loops can have
watchdog timers and do other required processing. This commit changes the loops
to not actually call ast_read() and attempt to process the returned frame
unless a frame actually arrived, eliminating hundreds of LOG_DEBUG messages
and slightly improving performance.

Recent changes in T.38 negotiation in Asterisk caused these applications to
not respond when the other endpoint initiated a switchover to T.38; this
resulted in the T.38 switchover failing, and the FAX attempt to be made
using an audio connection, instead of T.38 (which would usually cause the
FAX to fail completely).
This patch corrects this problem, and the applications will now correctly
respond to the T.38 switchover request. In addition, the response will include
the appopriate T.38 session parameters based on what the other end offered
and what our end is capable of.

Some applications (notably app_fax) do not need digit detection nor FAX tone
detection while they are running, and if Asterisk is using software DSPs to provide
the detection, this consumes extra CPU cycles that could be better spent on the
actual application. This patch allows applications to query and control the state
of digit and tone detection on a channel, and modifies app_fax to disable them
while the FAX operations are occurring (and re-enable digit detection afterwards).

This patch adds 'const' tags to a number of Asterisk APIs where they are appropriate (where the API already demanded that the function argument not be modified, but the compiler was not informed of that fact). The list includes:
- CLI command handlers
- CLI command handler arguments
- AGI command handlers
- AGI command handler arguments
- Dialplan application handler arguments
- Speech engine API function arguments
In addition, various file-scope and function-scope constant arrays got 'const' and/or 'static' qualifiers where they were missing.

Prior to spandsp-0.0.6pre4 the t30_stats_t structure used a pages_transferred
integer to indicate the number of pages transferred (so far) during the fax
session. The spandsp-0.0.6pre4 release removed the pages_transferred integer
and replaced it with two different integers - pages_tx and pages_rx. This
revision uses the new integers for spandsp-0.0.6pre4 while maintaining backwards
compatibility for previous spandsp releases.

This commit introduces the first phase of an effort to manage documentation of the
interfaces in Asterisk in an XML format. Currently, a new format is available for
applications and dialplan functions. A good number of conversions to the new format
are also included.
