operation.
When a channel enters the bridging system it is first made compatible with
the bridge and then the bridge technology makes the channel compatible
with the technology. For all but the DAHDI native and softmix bridge
technologies the make channel compatible with the bridge step is an
effective noop because the other technologies allow all audio formats.
For the DAHDI native bridge technology it doesn't matter because it is not
an initial bridge technology and chan_dahdi allows only one native format
per channel. For the softmix bridge technology, it is a noop at best and
harmful at worst because the wrong translation path could be setup if the
channel's native formats allow more than one audio format.
This is an intermediate patch for a series of patches aimed at improving
translation path choices.
* Removed code dealing with the unnecessary step of making the channel
compatible with the bridge.

In the old times media formats were represented using a bit field. This was
fast but had a few limitations.
1. Asterisk was limited in how many formats it could handle.
2. Formats, being a bit field, could not include any attribute information.
A format was strictly its type, e.g., "this is ulaw".
This was changed in Asterisk 10 (see
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal for
notes on that work) which led to the creation of the ast_format structure.
This structure allowed Asterisk to handle attributes and bundle information
with a format.
Additionally, ast_format_cap was created to act as a container for multiple
formats that, together, formed the capability of some entity. Another
mechanism was added to allow logic to be registered which performed format
attribute negotiation. Everywhere throughout the codebase Asterisk was
changed to use this strategy.
Unfortunately, in software, there is no free lunch. These new capabilities
came at a cost.
Performance analysis and profiling showed that we spend an inordinate
amount of time comparing, copying, and generally manipulating formats and
their related structures. Basic prototyping has shown that a reasonably
large performance improvement could be made in this area. This patch is the
result of that project, which overhauled the media format architecture
and its usage in Asterisk to improve performance.
Generally, the new philosophy for handling formats is as follows:
* The ast_format structure is reference counted. This removed a large amount
of the memory allocations and copying that was done in prior versions.
* In order to prevent race conditions while keeping things performant, the
ast_format structure is immutable by convention and lock-free. Violate this
tenet at your peril!
* Because formats are reference counted, codecs are also reference counted.
The Asterisk core generally provides built-in codecs and caches the
ast_format structures created to represent them. Generally, to prevent
inordinate amounts of module reference bumping, codecs and formats can be
added at run-time but cannot be removed.
* All compatibility with the bit field representation of codecs/formats has
been moved to a compatibility API. The primary user of this representation
is chan_iax2, which must continue to maintain its bit-field usage of formats
for interoperability concerns.
* When a format is negotiated with attributes, or when a format cannot be
represented by one of the cached formats, a new format object is created or
cloned from an existing format. That format may have the same codec
underlying it, but is a different format than a version of the format with
different attributes or without attributes.
* While formats are reference counted objects, the reference count maintained
on the format should be manipulated with care. Formats are generally cached
and will persist for the lifetime of Asterisk and do not explicitly need
to have their lifetime modified. An exception to this is when the user of a
format does not know where the format came from *and* the user may outlive
the provider of the format. This occurs, for example, when a format is read
from a channel: the channel may have a format with attributes (hence,
non-cached) and the user of the format may last longer than the channel (if
the reference to the channel is released prior to the format's reference).

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Format+Rewrite
Finally, this work was the culmination of a large number of developer's
efforts. Extra thanks goes to Corey Farrell, who took on a large amount of the
work in the Asterisk core, chan_sip, and was an invaluable resource in peer
reviews throughout this project.
There were a substantial number of patches contributed during this work; the
following issues/patch names simply reflect some of the work (and will cause
the release scripts to give attribution to the individuals who work on them).

Channel snapshots have string representations of the channel's native formats.
Prior to this change, the format strings were re-created on ever channel snapshot
creation. Since channel native formats rarely change, this was very wasteful.
Now, string representations of formats may optionally be stored on the ast_format_cap
for cases where string representations may be requested frequently. When formats
are altered, the string cache is marked as invalid. When strings are requested, the
cache validity is checked. If the cache is valid, then the cached strings are copied.
If the cache is invalid, then the string cache is rebuilt and copied, and the cache
is marked as being valid again.

This patch renames the bridging* files to bridge*. This may seem pedantic
and silly, but it fits better in line with current Asterisk naming conventions:
* channel is not "channeling"
* monitor is not "monitoring"
etc.
A bridge is an object. It is a first class citizen in Asterisk. "Bridging" is
the act of using a bridge on a set of channels - and the API that fulfills that
role is more than just the action.

* Extract a useful routine from the softmix bridge technology for other
technologies. Make other technologies use it if they can.
* Made native and 1-1 bridges write to all parties if the bridge channel
writing the frame into the bridge is NULL. Softmix will also do the same
for frame types that make sense.
* Tweak the bridge write routine return value meaning and adjust the
bridge technologies to match.

Introduce <support_level> tags in MODULEINFO.
This change introduces MODULEINFO into many modules in Asterisk in order to show
the community support level for those modules. This is used by changes committed
to menuselect by Russell Bryant recently (r917 in menuselect). More information about
the support level types and what they mean is available on the wiki at

This patch is the foundation of an entire new way of looking at media in Asterisk.
The code present in this patch is everything required to complete phase1 of my
Media Architecture proposal. For more information about this project visit the link below.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal
The primary function of this patch is to convert all the usages of format
bitfields in Asterisk to use the new format and format_cap APIs. Functionally
no change in behavior should be present in this patch. Thanks to twilson
and russell for all the time they spent reviewing these changes.
