chan_dahdi: remove by_name support
Support for referring to DAHDI channels by logical names was added in (FIXME: when? Asterisk 11? 1.8?) and was intended to be part of support of refering to channels by name. While technically usable, it has never been properly supported in dahdi-tools, as using it would require many changes at the Asterisk level. Instead logical mapping was added at the kernel level. Thus it seems that refering to DAHDI channels by name is not really used by anyone, and therefore should probably be removed. Change-Id: I7d50bbfd9d957586f5cd06570244ef87bd54b485
