pbx.c: put copy of ast_exten.data on stack to prevent memory corruption

During dialplan execution in pbx_extension_helper(), the contexts global
read lock prevents link list corruption, but was released with a pointer
to the ast_exten and data later used in variable substitution.  Instead,
this patch removes pbx_substitute_variables() and locates a copy of the
ast_exten data on the stack before releasing the lock, where ast_exten
could get free'd by another thread performing a module reload.
