We no longer publish a channel snapshot when it is associated with an endpoint;
after all, the channel itself hasn't changed - the endpoint state has changed.
This updates the channel_messages unit test accordingly.

Much needed was a way to assign id to objects on creation, and
much change was necessary to accomplish it.  Channel uniqueids
and linkedids are split into separate string and creation time
components without breaking linkedid propgation.  This allowed
the uniqueid to be specified by the user interface - and those
values are now carried through to channel creation, adding the
assignedids value to every function in the chain including the
channel drivers. For local channels, the second channel can be
specified or left to default to a ;2 suffix of first.  In ARI,
bridge, playback, and snoop objects can also be created with a
specified uniqueid.

Along the way, the args order to allocating channels was fixed
in chan_mgcp and chan_gtalk, and linkedid is no longer lost as
masquerade occurs.

  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.

In working with res_stasis, I discovered a significant limitation to
the current structure of stasis_caching_topics: you cannot subscribe
to cache updates for a single channel/bridge/endpoint/etc.

To address this, this patch splits the cache away from the
stasis_caching_topic, making it a first class object. The stasis_cache
object is shared amongst individual stasis_caching_topics that are
created per channel/endpoint/etc. These are still forwarded to global
whatever_all_cached topics, so their use from most of the code does
not change.

In making these changes, I noticed that we frequently used a similar
pattern for bridges, endpoints and channels:

     single_topic  ---------------->  all_topic
           ^
           |
     single_topic_cached  ----+---->  all_topic_cached
                              |
                              +---->  cache

This pattern was extracted as the 'Stasis Caching Pattern', defined in
stasis_caching_pattern.h. This avoids a lot of duplicate code between
the different domain objects.

Since the cache is now disassociated from its upstream caching topics,
this also necessitated a change to how the 'guaranteed' flag worked
for retrieving from a cache. The code for handling the caching
guarantee was extracted into a 'stasis_topic_wait' function, which
works for any stasis_topic.

Since ast_hangup() is effectively a channel destructor, it should be a
void function.

* Make the few silly callers checking the return value no longer do so.
Only the CDR and CEL unit tests checked the return value.

* Make all callers take advantage of the NULL safe change and remove the
NULL check before the call.

An endpoint is an external device/system that may offer/accept
channels to/from Asterisk. While this is a very useful concept for end
users, it is surprisingly not a core concept within Asterisk itself.

This patch defines ast_endpoint as a separate object, which channel
drivers may use to expose their concept of an endpoint. As the channel
driver creates channels, it can use ast_endpoint_add_channel() to
associate channels to the endpoint. This updated the endpoint
appropriately, and forwards all of the channel's events to the
endpoint's topic.

In order to avoid excessive locking on the endpoint object itself, the
mutable state is not accessible via getters. Instead, you can create a
snapshot using ast_endpoint_snapshot_create() to get a consistent
snapshot of the internal state.

This patch also includes a set of topics and messages associated with
endpoints, and implementations of the endpoint-related RESTful
API. chan_sip was updated to create endpoints with SIP peers, but the
state of the endpoints is not updated with the state of the peer.

Along for the ride in this patch is a Stasis test API. This is a
stasis_message_sink object, which can be subscribed to a Stasis
topic. It has functions for blocking while waiting for conditions in
the message sink to be fulfilled.
