Merge changes from team/russell/events

This set of changes introduces a new generic event API for use within Asterisk.
I am still working on a way for events to be shared between servers, but this
part is ready and can already be used inside of Asterisk.

This set of changes introduces the first use of the API, as well.  I have
restructured the way that MWI (message waiting indication) is handled.  It is
now event based instead of polling based.  For example, if there are a bunch
of SIP phones subscribed to mailboxes, then chan_sip will not have to
constantly poll the mailboxes for changes.  app_voicemail will generate events
when changes occur.

See UPGRADE.txt and CHANGES for some more information on the effects of these
changes from the user perspective.  For developer information, see the text in
include/asterisk/event.h.

As always, additional feedback is welcome on the asterisk-dev mailing list.
