app_queue: Add RealTime support for queue rules

This patch gives the optional ability to keep queue rules in RealTime. It is
important to note that with this patch:
 (a) Queue rules in RealTime are only examined on module load/reload
 (b) Queue rules are loaded both from the queuerules.conf file as well as the
     RealTime backend
To inform app_queue to examine RealTime for queue rules, a new setting has been
added to queuerules.conf's general section "realtime_rules". RealTime queue
rules will only be used when this setting is set to "yes".

The schema for the database table supports a rule_name, time, min_penalty, and
max_penalty columns. min_penalty and max_penalty can be relative, if a '-' or
'+' literal is provided. Otherwise, the penalties are treated as constants.

For example:
rule_name, time, min_penalty, max_penalty
'default', '10', '20', '30'
'test2', '20', '30', '55'
'test2', '25', '-11', '+1111'
'test2', '400', '112', '333'
'test3', '0', '4564', '46546'
'test_rule', '40', '15', '50'

which would result in :

Rule: default
 - After 10 seconds, adjust QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY to 30 and adjust
   QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY to 20
Rule: test2
 - After 20 seconds, adjust QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY to 55 and adjust
   QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY to 30
 - After 25 seconds, adjust QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY by 1111 and adjust
   QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY by -11
 - After 400 seconds, adjust QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY to 333 and adjust
   QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY to 112
Rule: test3
 - After 0 seconds, adjust QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY to 46546 and adjust
   QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY to 4564
Rule: test_rule
 - After 40 seconds, adjust QUEUE_MAX_PENALTY to 50 and adjust
   QUEUE_MIN_PENALTY to 15

If you use RealTime, the queue rules will be always reloaded on a module
reload, even if the underlying file did not change. With the option disabled,
the rules will only be reloaded if the file was modified.

+Queue
+------------------
+ * Queue rules can now be stored in a database table, queue_rules. Unlike other
+   RealTime tables, the queue_rules table is only examined on module load or
+   module reload. A new general setting has been added to queuerules.conf,
+   'realtime_rules', which, when set to 'yes', will cause app_queue to look in
+   RealTime for additional queue rules to parse. Note that both the file and
+   the database can be used as a provide of queue rules when 'realtime_rules'
+   is set to 'yes'.
+
+   When app_queue is reloaded, all rules are re-parsed and loaded into memory.
+   There is no caching of RealTime queue rules.
