Extend extension state callbacks to have more information.

Quote from review board:

This patch extends the extension state callbacks so that monitoring channels
(as chan_sip) get more information of the devices which are responsible for
an extension state change. The additional information is needed by chan_sip
to present names/numbers of the caller and callee in an early-state SIP
notification. Users of extenstion state callback not interested in the
additional information are not affected by the changes.

Motivation: to present the involved party's name/number in an early-state
nofification (used by the notified device as a pickup offer) one after another
so that a user can see which call he will pick up in an undirected pickup.
Such a pickup offer to a user shall indicate the same call (number/name-A calls
number/name-B) as the call which would be picked up when an undirected pickup
is executed.


Users interested in additional state info must use the new functions
ast_extension_state_add_extended() resp.
ast_extension_state_add_destroy_extended() to register an extended state
callback. When the callback is registered this way, an extra member
device_state_info of struct ast_state_cb_info is passed to the callback in
addition to the aggregated extension state. This container holds an object for
every device of the monitored extension hint consisting of the device name, the
device state and a channel reference to the channel which (presumably) caused
the device state.

The information is used by chan_sip for early-state notifications. When the
state of a device changes and the new state contains AST_EVENT_RINGING, an
early-state notification is sent to the subscribed devices with the
caller/callee names/numbers of the oldest ringing channel of the monitored
extension. The notified user may then invoke a direct pickup, which will pickup
exactly this channel.

Users of the old non-extended callbacks will only be called when the aggregated
state did change (same behavior as before). Users of the extended callback will
also be called when the state is unchanged but does contain AST_EVENT_RINGING.
That could be the case if two channels are ringing at one device and one of
them hangs up, so the aggregated state does not change. This way the monitoring
channel can create a new early-state notification with the now ringing
party-ids.
