chan_dahdi: Add the chan_dahdi.conf force_restart_unavailable_chans option.
Some telco switches occasionally ignore ISDN RESTART requests. The fix for ASTERISK-19608 added an escape clause for B channels in the restarting state if the telco ignores a RESTART request. If the telco fails to acknowledge the RESTART then Asterisk will assume the telco acknowledged the RESTART on the second call attempt requesting the B channel by the telco. The escape clause is good for dealing with RESTART requests in general but it does cause the next call for the restarting B channel to be rejected if the telco insists the call must go on that B channel. chan_dahdi doesn't really need to issue a RESTART request in response to receiving a cause 44 (Requested channel not available) code. Sending the RESTART in such a situation is not required (nor prohibited) by the standards. I think chan_dahdi does this for historical reasons to deal with buggy peers to get channels unstuck in a similar fashion as the chan_dahdi.conf resetinterval option. * Add the chan_dahdi.conf force_restart_unavailable_chans compatability option that when disabled will prevent chan_dahdi from trying to RESTART the channel in response to a cause 44 code.
