David M. Lee 744556c01d security: Inhibit execution of privilege escalating functions
This patch allows individual dialplan functions to be marked as
'dangerous', to inhibit their execution from external sources.

A 'dangerous' function is one which results in a privilege escalation.
For example, if one were to read the channel variable SHELL(rm -rf /)
Bad Things(TM) could happen; even if the external source has only read
permissions.

Execution from external sources may be enabled by setting
'live_dangerously' to 'yes' in the [options] section of asterisk.conf.
Although doing so is not recommended.

Also, the ABI was changed to something more reasonable, since Asterisk
12 does not yet have a public release.
