A potential problem that can arise is the following:
* Bob's phone is programmed to automatically forward to Carol.
* Carol's phone is programmed to automatically forward to Bob.
* Alice calls Bob.
If left unchecked, this results in an endless loops of call forwards
that would eventually result in some sort of fiery crash.
Asterisk's method of solving this issue was to track which interfaces
had been dialed. If a destination were dialed a second time, then
the attempt to call that destination would fail since a loop was
detected.
The problem with this method is that call forwarding has evolved. Some
SIP phones allow for a user to manually forward an incoming call to an
ad-hoc destination. This can mean that:
* There are legitimate use cases where a device may be dialed multiple
times, or
* There can be human error when forwarding calls.
This change removes the old method of detecting forwarding loops in
favor of keeping a count of the number of destinations a channel has
dialed on a particular branch of a call. If the number exceeds the
set number of max forwards, then the call fails. This approach has
the following advantages over the old:
* It is much simpler.
* It can detect loops involving local channels.
* It is user configurable.
The only disadvantage it has is that in the case where there is a
legitimate forwarding loop present, it takes longer to detect it.
However, the forwarding loop is still properly detected and the
call is cleaned up as it should be.
Address review feedback on gerrit.
* Correct "mfgium" to "Digium"
* Decrement max forwards by one in the case where allocation of the
max forwards datastore is required.
* Remove irrelevant code change from pjsip_global_headers.c

After 5 years in mantis and over a year on reviewboard, SRTP support is finally
being comitted. This includes generic CHANNEL dialplan functions that work for
getting the status of whether a call has secure media or signaling as defined
by the underlying channel technology and for setting whether or not a new
channel being bridged to a calling channel should have secure signaling or
media. See doc/tex/secure-calls.tex for examples.

Fix feature inheritance with builtin features
When using builtin features like parking and transfers, the AST_FEATURE_* flags
would not be set correctly for all instances when either performing a builtin
attended transfer, or parking a call and getting the timeout callback. Also,
there was no way on a per-call basis to specify what features someone should
have on picking up a parked call (since that doesn't involve the Dial() command).
There was a global option for setting whether or not all users who pickup a
parked call should have AST_FEATURE_REDIRECT set, but nothing for DISCONNECT,
AUTOMON, or PARKCALL.
This patch:
1) adds the BRIDGE_FEATURES dialplan variable which can be set either in the
dialplan or with setvar in channels that support it. This variable can be set
to any combination of 't', 'k', 'w', and 'h' (case insensitive matching of the
equivalent dial options), to set what features should be activated on this
channel. The patch moves the setting of the features datastores into the
bridging code instead of app_dial to help facilitate this.
2) adds global options parkedcallparking, parkedcallhangup, and
parkedcallrecording to be similar to the parkedcalltransfers option for
globally setting features.
3) has builtin_atxfer call builtin_parkcall if being transfered to the parking
extension since tracking everything through multiple masquerades, etc. is
difficult and error-prone
4) attempts to fix all cases of return calls from parking and completed builtin
transfers not having the correct permissions

occurs. Also, when doing built-in attended transfers, sometimes incorrectly passes rights from the transferrer to the transferee. This patch tries to fixes the parking issue and lays some groundwork for later fixing the transfer issue.

A big one...
This is the merge of the forward-loop branch. The main change here is that call-forwards can no longer loop.
This is accomplished by creating a datastore on the calling channel which has a linked list of all devices
dialed. If a forward happens, then the local channel which is created inherits the datastore. If, through this
progression of forwards and datastore inheritance, a device is attempted to be dialed a second time, it will simply
be skipped and a warning message will be printed to the CLI. After the dialing has been completed, the datastore
is detached from the channel and destroyed.
This change also introduces some side effects to the code which I shall enumerate here:
1. Datastore inheritance has been backported from trunk into 1.4
2. A large chunk of code has been removed from app_dial. This chunk is the section of code
which handles the call forward case after the channel has been requested but before it has
been called. This was removed because call-forwarding still works fine without it, it makes the
code less error-prone should it need changing, and it made this set of changes much less painful
to just have the forwarding handled in one place in each module.
3. Two new files, global_datastores.h and .c have been added. These are necessary since the datastore
which is attached to the channel may be created and attached in either app_dial or app_queue, so they
need a common place to find the datastore info. This approach was taken in case similar datastores are
needed in the future, there will be a common place to add them.
