Sean Bright 9e2fcb82ed cdr_syslog: Deprecate unmaintained module
There has been an open issue against cdr_syslog (ASTERISK~14441) about
a race condition for 7.5 years that has never been addressed. Because
this module is effectively unmaintained and currently broken, there is
no sense in keeping it around.

If logging CDRs to syslog is a desirable feature, it would probably be
better to write the logs directly to the syslog server via socket
instead of using the facilities provided by openlog/syslog/closelog.
Doing so would address the race condition referenced in the associated
issue.

New in 16.0.0:
app_macro:
- The app_macro module is now deprecated and by default it is no longer
built. Users should migrate to app_stack (Gosub). A warning is logged
the first time any Macro is used.
AMI:
- The ContactStatus and Status fields for the manager events ContactStatus
and ContactStatusDetail are now set to "NonQualified" when a contact exists
but has not been qualified.
ARI:
- The ContactInfo event's contact_status field is now set to "NonQualified"
when a contact exists but has not been qualified.
cdr_syslog:
- The cdr_syslog module is now deprecated and by default it is no longer
built.
New in 15.0.0:
Build System:
- '--with-pjproject-bundled' is now the default when running ./configure
It can be disabled with '--without-pjproject-bundled'.
Core:
- Multi-stream support has been added so a channel can have multiple
streams of the same type such as audio and video.
- The 'Data Retrieval API' has been removed. This API was not actively
maintained, was not added to new modules (such as res_pjsip), and there
exist better alternatives to acquire the same information, such as the
ARI. As a result, the 'DataGet' AMI action as well as the 'data get'
CLI command have been removed.
