This patch finishes the implementation of OBJ_MULTIPLE in astobj2 (the
case where multiple results need to be returned; OBJ_NODATA mode
already was supported). In addition, it converts ast_channel_iterators
(only the targeted versions, not the ones that iterate over all
channels) to use this method.
During this work, I removed the 'ao2_flags' arguments to the
ast_channel_iterator constructor functions; there were no uses of that
argument yet, there is only one possible flag to pass, and it made the
iterators less 'opaque'. If at some point in the future someone really
needs an ast_channel_iterator that does not lock the container, we can
provide constructor(s) for that purpose.

There is a lot that could be said about this, but the patch is a big
improvement for performance, stability, code maintainability,
and ease of future code development.
The channel list is no longer an unsorted linked list. The main container
for channels is an astobj2 hash table. All of the code related to searching
for channels or iterating active channels has been rewritten. Let n be
the number of active channels. Iterating the channel list has gone from
O(n^2) to O(n). Searching for a channel by name went from O(n) to O(1).
Searching for a channel by extension is still O(n), but uses a new method
for doing so, which is more efficient.
The ast_channel object is now a reference counted object. The benefits
here are plentiful. Some benefits directly related to issues in the
previous code include:
1) When threads other than the channel thread owning a channel wanted
access to a channel, it had to hold the lock on it to ensure that it didn't
go away. This is no longer a requirement. Holding a reference is
sufficient.
2) There are places that now require less dealing with channel locks.
3) There are places where channel locks are held for much shorter periods
of time.
4) There are places where dealing with more than one channel at a time becomes
_MUCH_ easier. ChanSpy is a great example of this. Writing code in the
future that deals with multiple channels will be much easier.
Some additional information regarding channel locking and reference count
handling can be found in channel.h, where a new section has been added that
discusses some of the rules associated with it.
Mark Michelson also assisted with the development of this patch. He did the
conversion of ChanSpy and introduced a new API, ast_autochan, which makes it
much easier to deal with holding on to a channel pointer for an extended period
of time and having it get automatically updated if the channel gets masqueraded.
Mark was also a huge help in the code review process.
Thanks to David Vossel for his assistance with this branch, as well. David
did the conversion of the DAHDIScan application by making it become a wrapper
for ChanSpy internally.
The changes come from the svn/asterisk/team/russell/ast_channel_ao2 branch.

This patch includes a number of changes to the indications API. The primary
motivation for this work was to improve stability. The object management
in this API was significantly flawed, and a number of trivial situations could
cause crashes.
The changes included are:
1) Remove the module res_indications. This included the critical functionality
that actually loaded the indications configuration. I have seen many people
have Asterisk problems because they accidentally did not have an
indications.conf present and loaded. Now, this code is in the core,
and Asterisk will fail to start without indications configuration.
There was one part of res_indications, the dialplan applications, which did
belong in a module, and have been moved to a new module, app_playtones.
2) Object management has been significantly changed. Tone zones are now
managed using astobj2, and it is no longer possible to crash Asterisk by
issuing a reload that destroys tone zones while they are in use.
3) The API documentation has been filled out.
4) The API has been updated to follow our naming conventions.
5) Various bits of code throughout the tree have been updated to account
for the API update.
6) Configuration parsing has been mostly re-written.
7) "Code cleanup"
The code is from svn/asterisk/team/russell/indications/.

so that paths and filename are writable by asterisk.c without
causing segfaults.
This involves defining the variables as const char *,
and having them point to as static, writable buffer
defined in asterisk.c
On passing, fix some errors in using these variables
in some files in utils/ , and in res/snmp/agent.c
which was redefining a variable without using paths.h
(not applicable to 1.4)

is below. I should note that the PACKAGE_* macros that asterisk
defines in autoconfig.h are not used anywhere in the tree so
they should just be removed.
/*
* There is some collision collision between netsmp and asterisk names,
* causing build under AST_DEVMODE to fail.
*
* The following PACKAGE_* macros are one place.
* Also netsnmp has an improper check for HAVE_DMALLOC_H, using
* #if HAVE_DMALLOC_H instead of #ifdef HAVE_DMALLOC_H
* As a countermeasure we define it to 0, however this will fail
* when the proper check is implemented.

to avoid conflicts with the structs with the same names
defined in tonezone.h

ast_walk_indications(), to walk through the list of indications.
The new method returns an unlocked record, which is no different from the
behaviour of other existing methods in indications.c
(i.e. they all need to be fixed, with refcounts or some similar
method).
Note that ast_walk_indications() uses the pointer argument only as a
search key, so its implementation is completely safe.
In turn, this change allows the removal of AST_MUTEX_DEFINE_EXPORTED.
