Stasis performance improvements
This patch addresses several performance problems that were found in
the initial performance testing of Asterisk 12.
The Stasis dispatch object was allocated as an AO2 object, even though
it has a very confined lifecycle. This was replaced with a straight
ast_malloc().
The Stasis message router was spending an inordinate amount of time
searching hash tables. In this case, most of our routers had 6 or
fewer routes in them to begin with. This was replaced with an array
that's searched linearly for the route.
We more heavily rely on AO2 objects in Asterisk 12, and the memset()
in ao2_ref() actually became noticeable on the profile. This was
#ifdef'ed to only run when AO2_DEBUG was enabled.
After being misled by an erroneous comment in taskprocessor.c during
profiling, the wrong comment was removed.

Taskprocessor optimization; switch Stasis to use taskprocessors
This patch optimizes taskprocessor to use a semaphore for signaling,
which the OS can do a better job at managing contention and waiting
that we can with a mutex and condition.
The taskprocessor execution was also slightly optimized to reduce the
number of locks taken.
The only observable difference in the taskprocessor implementation is
that when the final reference to the taskprocessor goes away, it will
execute all tasks to completion instead of discarding the unexecuted
tasks.
For systems where unnamed semaphores are not supported, a really
simple semaphore implementation is provided. (Which gives identical
performance as the original taskprocessor implementation).
The way we ended up implementing Stasis caused the threadpool to be a
burden instead of a boost to performance. This was switched to just
use taskprocessors directly for subscriptions.

Optimize how Stasis forwards are dispatched
This patch optimizes how forwards are dispatched in Stasis.
Originally, forwards were dispatched as subscriptions that are invoked
on the publishing thread. This did not account for the vast number of
forwards we would end up having in the system, and the amount of work it
would take to walk though the forward subscriptions.
This patch modifies Stasis so that rather than walking the tree of
forwards on every dispatch, when forwards and subscriptions are changed,
the subscriber list for every topic in the tree is changed.
This has a couple of benefits. First, this reduces the workload of
dispatching messages. It also reduces contention when dispatching to
different topics that happen to forward to the same aggregation topic
(as happens with all of the channel, bridge and endpoint topics).
Since forwards are no longer subscriptions, the bulk of this patch is
simply changing stasis_subscription objects to stasis_forward objects
(which, admittedly, I should have done in the first place.)
Since this required me to yet again put in a growing array, I finally
abstracted that out into a set of ast_vector macros in
asterisk/vector.h.

Remove dispatch object allocation from Stasis publishing
While looking for areas for performance improvement, I realized that an
unused feature in Stasis was negatively impacting performance.
When a message is sent to a subscriber, a dispatch object is allocated
for the dispatch, containing the topic the message was published to, the
subscriber the message is being sent to, and the message itself.
The topic is actually unused by any subscriber in Asterisk today. And
the subscriber is associated with the taskprocessor the message is being
dispatched to.
First, this patch removes the unused topic parameter from Stasis
subscription callbacks.
Second, this patch introduces the concept of taskprocessor local data,
data that may be set on a taskprocessor and provided along with the data
pointer when a task is pushed using the ast_taskprocessor_push_local()
call. This allows the task to have both data specific to that
taskprocessor, in addition to data specific to that invocation.
With those two changes, the dispatch object can be removed completely,
and the message is simply refcounted and sent directly to the
taskprocessor.

The Dial, Queue, and FollowMe applications need to inhibit the bridging
initial connected line exchange in order to support the 'I' option.
* Replaced the pass_reference flag on ast_bridge_join() with a flags
parameter to pass other flags defined by enum ast_bridge_join_flags.
* Replaced the independent flag on ast_bridge_impart() with a flags
parameter to pass other flags defined by enum ast_bridge_impart_flags.
* Since the Dial, Queue, and FollowMe applications are now the only
callers of ast_bridge_call() and ast_bridge_call_with_flags(), changed the
calling contract to require the initial COLP exchange to already have been
done by the caller.
* Made all callers of ast_bridge_impart() check the return value. It is
important. As a precaution, I also made the compiler complain now if it
is not checked.
* Did some cleanup in parking_tests.c as a result of checking the
ast_bridge_impart() return value.
An independent, but associated change is:
* Reduce stack usage in ast_indicate_data() and add a dropping redundant
connected line verbose message.

A problem encountered during testing was that res_pjsip_refer would
not ever send a NOTIFY with a 200 OK sipfrag. This is because the framehook
that was supposed to send the NOTIFY would never be told that an answer
had occurred. This happened for two reasons:
1) The transferee channel on which the framehook was on was already up.
2) Answers are rarely if ever written to channels. Rather, the ast_answer()
or ast_raw_answer() function is used to answer channels.
Thanks to a suggestion by Matt Jordan, the best way to detect that the call
had been answered was to find out when the transferee channel joined a bridge.
With stasis this is an easy task. So now, in addition to the framehook logic,
there is a stasis subscription used to determine when the transferee has entered
a bridge. Once it has entered, an appropriate NOTIFY is sent.
