In 13, the new ast_string_field_header structure had to be dynamically
allocated and assigned to a pointer in ast_string_field_mgr to preserve ABI
compatability. In master, it can be converted to being a structure-in-place in
ast_string_field_mgr to eliminate the extra alloc and free calls.

String fields are great, except that you can't add new ones without breaking
ABI compatibility because it shifts down everything else in the structure.
The only alternative is to add your own char * field to the end of the
structure and manage the memory yourself which isn't ideal, especially since
you then can't use the OPT_STRINGFIELD_T type.
Background:
The reason string fields had to be declared inside the
AST_DECLARE_STRING_FIELDS block was to facilitate iteration over all declared
fields for initialization, compare and copy. Since AST_DECLARE_STRING_FIELDS
declared the pool, then the fields, then the manager, you could use the offsets
of the pool and manager and iterate over the sequential addresses in between to
access the fields. The actual pool, field allocation and field set operations
don't actually care where the field is. It's just iteration over the fields
that was the problem.
Solution: Extended String Fields
An extended string field is one that is declared outside the
AST_DECLARE_STRING_FIELDS block but still (anywhere) inside the parent
structure. Other than using AST_STRING_FIELD_EXTENDED instead of
AST_STRING_FIELD, it looks the same as other string fields. It's storage comes
from the pool and it participates in string field compare and copy operations
peformed on the parent structure. It's also a valid target for the
OPT_STRINGFIELD_T aco option type.
Implementation:
To keep track of the extended fields and make sure that ABI isn't broken, the
existing embedded_pool pointer in the manager structure was repurposed to be a
pointer to a separate header structure that contains the embedded_pool pointer
plus a vector of fields. The length of the manager structure didn't change and
the embedded_pool pointer isn't used in the macros, only the stringfields C
code. A side benefit of this is that changing the header structure in the
future won't break ABI.
ast_string_fields_init initializes the normal string fields and appends them to
the vector, and subsequent calls to ast_string_field_init_extended initialize
and append the extended fields. Cleanup, ast_string_fields_cmp, and
ast_string_fields_copy can now work on the vector instead of sequentially
traversing the addresses between the pool and manager.
The total size of a structure using string fields didn't change, whether using
extended fields or not, nor have the offsets of any structure members, either
inside the original block or outside. Adding an extended field to the end of a
structure is the same as adding a char *.
Details:
The stringfield C code was pulled out from utils.c and into stringfields.c.
It just made sense.
Additional work was done in ast_string_field_init and
ast_calloc_with_stringfields to handle the allocation of the new header
structure and the vector, and the associated cleanup. In the process some
additional NULL pointer checking was added.
A lot of work was done in stringfields.h since the logic for compare and copy
is there. Documentation was added as well as somne additional NULL checking.
The ability to call ast_calloc_with_stringfields with a number of structures
greater than 1 never really worked. Well, the calloc worked but there was no
way to access the additional structures or clean them up. It was agreed that
there was no use case for requesting more than 1 structure so an ast_assert
was added to prevent it and the iteration code removed.
Testing:
The stringfield unit tests were updated to test both normal and extended
fields. Tests for ast_string_field_ptr_set_by_fields and
ast_calloc_with_stringfields were also added.
As an ABI test, 13 was compiled from git and the res_pjsip_* modules, except
res_pjsip itself, saved off. The patch was then added and a full compile and
install was performed. Then the older res_pjsip_* moduled were copied over the
installed versions so res_pjsip was new and the rest were old. No issues.
contact->aor, which is a char * at the end of contact, was then changed to an
extended string field and a recompile and reinstall was performed, again
leaving stock versions of the the res_pjsip_* modules. Again, no issues with
the res_pjsip_* modules using the old stringfield implementation and with
contact->aor as a char *, and res_pjsip itself using the new stringfield
implementation and contact->aor being an extended string field.
Finally, several existing string fields were converted to extended string
fields to test OPT_STRINGFIELD_T. Again, no issues.

This patch fixes a variety of clang compiler warnings for unit tests. This
includes autological comparison issues, ignored return values, and
interestingly enough, one embedded function. Fun!

Add struct-level comparison and copying of string fields to reduce the
complexity of whole-struct comparison and copying when using string
fields. The new macros do not take into account non-stringfield data.

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
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Module+Support+States

(Copied from reviewboard)
Tests the following:
1. Basic allocation and setting of string fields.
2. Shrinking a string field and re-expanding it.
3. Growing the last allocation in a string field pool.
4. Setting a string to a large value such that a new string field pool must be
allocated.
In each part, we make sure that the string field is accurate (has the correct
value in it), make sure that the 2 bytes before the string field has the correct
capacity for the field, and for tests 2-4, we make sure that the string field is
where we expect it to be in memory.
Also tested:
5. Shrinking a string field and partially re-expanding it.
6. Setting strings in such a way as to create three separate string field pools
and then removing the middle pool.
There is a bug fix in the init function, which ensures the embedded_pool is set
to NULL which is important for stack allocated structures.
